Second Century Scholars Honors Day

The program awards two renewable full-tuition scholarships, as well as significant one-time scholarships, to incoming first-year University of Dubuque (UD) students showing a wide-ranging curiosity about the world, a strong capacity for self-discipline and a passion for academic excellence servicing their communities. In order to be considered for a Second Century Scholars Award, students must have a minimum high school grade point average of 3.7 and participate in the scholars’ day on campus. The day includes a series of interviews and a writing exercise. Additionally, students will learn about the UD’s Scholar-Leader Honors Program and met with faculty and students. The day concluds with a dinner and recognition ceremony.
