UT's TIP
TIP Scholars represent a diverse array of academic interests and career goals. TIP Scholars are exceptionally motivated students who have demonstrated academic excellence as high school students and have a broad range of experiences that serve as an asset for an intellectual community of scholars.
Membership in the TIP Scholars community is by invitation only. UT Admissions and the Provost’s Office review applications from first-time freshmen admitted to the College of Natural Sciences and nominate students who would be a good fit for the TIP Scholars community. This holistic review considers evidence of academic achievement in high school, commitment to learning and intellectual challenge, potential for leadership and effective teamwork, and appreciation for engagement in a strong academic and social community.
TIP Scholars impact their world here at UT and beyond. In the past five years, TIP Scholars have:
Served on Student Government, the Natural Sciences Council, and various University committees that have been at the forefront of change made at the University.
Participated in competitive programs such as SMDEP, JAMP, the Archer Program, HCMP, and Teach for America.
Received prestigious University recognition as Dean’s Honored Graduates and Texas Parents’ Outstanding Students of the Year.
Led many of the pre-professional, service, and social student organizations on campus.
Continued their education in competitive professional and graduate school programs in a variety of fields in the US and around the globe.
Studied abroad, published scientific research, interned with cutting edge industries, and volunteered in both the local and global community.
