5. be a first time, entering freshman;
6. must be a resident of the state of Texas as defined for tuition purposes.
Once awarded, the scholarship is for four consecutive long term semesters if the recipient continues to meet the following criteria. Should the number of qualified applicants for scholarships exceed the funds available, the scholarships will be awarded to the students returning their commitment the earliest. The criteria is:
1. enroll in consecutive long term semesters;
2. maintain at least a 3.25 GPA (4.00 scale) in all college work;
3. complete a minimum of 12 semester hours during each of the long-term semesters in which the scholarship is received.
