Texas Leadership Scholars Program

Texas Leadership Scholars Program

Opens Mid September 

The Texas Leadership Scholars (TLS) program was founded in 2022 by eighteen member institutions as a state-wide, premier leadership program to guide Texas high school graduates to develop their leadership skills and continue their education at a Texas university.

Cohorts of students will be connected with peer and professional networks and mentors, participate in unique leadership development programs, and receive undergraduate research and study abroad opportunities.

Programs Benefits

Scholars will have 100% of their board-designated tuition and fees covered through a combination of federal, state, and institutional aid, in addition to a Room and Board stipend equal to the average cost of Room and Board at the institution you are attending, up to 4 years.

This program is limited to 250 students annually.
