USA Today Scholarship

Each February, USA TODAY honors 20 undergraduate academic all-stars as its All-USA College Academic Team. They each receive a trophy and a $2,500 cash award.

The All-USA College Academic Team honors full-time undergraduates who not only excel in scholarship but also extend their intellectual abilities beyond the classroom to benefit society. Criteria include grades, academic rigor, leadership, activities and most important, the student’s essay describing his or her most outstanding intellectual accomplishment while in college. Unlike a scholarship or grant aimed at helping make education possible, the All-USA Academic Team is an award honoring students for what they have accomplished as undergraduates.

The program is open to full-time juniors or seniors.
