Student Scholarship Opportunities in the School of Civic Leadership
The School of Civic Leadership offers three scholarship opportunities. The three scholarship funds, Civitatis, Praesidium, and Disciplina, take their names from the University seal and reflect the virtues the School of Civic Leadership invites students to cultivate: civic responsibility, moral leadership, and practical wisdom. Students who gain admission to the University of Texas and the School of Civic Leadership will receive consideration for these scholarship opportunities. Award letters will be mailed out on a rolling basis beginning in early February and continuing through mid-March.
Civitatis Scholarship ($12,000)
SCL awards the Civitatis Scholarship ($12,000, or full in-state tuition) to exceptional incoming first year students whose record of academic achievement and civic responsibility indicate a distinctive capacity to excel in the Civics Honors major.

Praesidium Scholarship ($6,000)
SCL awards the Praesidium Scholarship ($6,000, or half of in-state tuition) to outstanding incoming first-year students who demonstrate a strong potential to excel in the School of Civic Leadership.
