Presidential Scholars Application Process

The Presidential Scholars application process is connected to the SDSU admissions process. You must be admitted to the university to be eligible for the Presidential Scholars program. Please note that applying to SDSU or for Presidential Scholars does not bind you to attending SDSU. Also, you are still eligible for state and federal financial aid and other scholarships as a Presidential Scholar.
