Introducing the 2013 Forty Acres Scholars Program Finalists
The University of Texas' most prestigious scholarship is moving closer to selecting its third class. From the more than 28,000 students who applied to the University, 41 finalists have been selected for the Forty Acres Scholars Program.
They're an elite bunch. They hail from six states and 16 Texas counties and have an average SAT score of 1430. This year's finalists aim to study in almost all of UT's colleges and schools, from fine arts to business, education, and engineering. They'll be in Austin from April 4-6 for Finalists' Weekend, where they'll tour campus, visit with their school or college, meet current scholars and alumni, and even see the city via the amphibious Austin Duck Tour, among other activities. The weekend will conclude with interviews that will help select the final group of scholarship recipients.
Forty Acres Scholars Program associate director Kristy Kimball says she's eagerly awaiting Finalists' Weekend. "We've been reviewing applications since January and earlier, so it will be great to finally meet the students," Kimball says. "We feel like we already know them, and we can't wait to get to know them better."
