Who Can Attend?

All attending scouts must be either a junior or senior in high school.  As mentioned in the previous section, all participants must hold the Eagle Scout or the Gold Award. Active participation in scouting will be deemed sufficient if they have not yet received the honors of Eagle or Gold Awards.

Juniors may attend if they meet both of the following requirements

  1. Top ¼ of their class
  2. 1050 SAT or 105 PSAT (combination of math/critical reading sections only)

Four ways seniors can meet attendance requirements (must meet any one of the four):

  1. Be in the Top 10% of their class
  2. Be considered an 'Academic Admit'
    -- Top quarter of class and either a minimum 1300 SAT (at least 600 on both critical reading and math components) or 30 ACT (minimum 27 in ACT English and ACT Math)
  3. Top quarter of class and either a minimum 1050 SAT (combination of math/critical reading sections only) or 23 ACT 
  4. Top half of class and either a minimum 1150 SAT (combination of math/critical reading sections only) or 25 ACT

These are program minimums.  These scores do not guarantee admission to TAMU. Space is limited.  Those wishing to participate in the program should apply early.
