Scholar's Day Overview

Congratulations! You have been selected as a Chancellor's Scholarship Finalist.

Each year, 50 finalists are selected to come to campus and interview with S&T's faculty & staff for a chance to be selected as a Chancellor's Scholarship Recipient.  This year's interview will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2026 (approx. 9:30a - 12:00p).

Since its inception in 1989, the Chancellor’s Scholarship has been awarded to more than 485 students representing virtually every major field of study. This highly competitive, full tuition & fees, scholarship will be awarded to 14 fall 2026 first-time freshmen. (This would be a revised scholarship offer and will supersede any other offer that was provided by admissions. Bright Flight would still stack with this scholarship if eligible.)
