Tech Scholars Program

The SAU Tech Scholars Program is designed to develop the abilities and potential of highly motivated students as they begin their academic studies and prepare to transfer to a four-year college or university. The program fosters critical thinking and academic excellence among students who are motivated to pursue academic enrichment.

As a participant in the SAU Tech Honors Program, students have an opportunity for exciting and creative learning. Students in the Tech Scholars program will be required to participate in service opportunities both on campus and in the community. Tech Scholars students are expected to represent SAU Tech in a responsible, positive manner.

The program is competitive, and eligibility is based on the following criteria:

  • A 20 composite ACT (or equivalent score on alternate college entrance exam) and a 3.25 GPA from high school.
  • Interview
  • Written work (300 words maximum) based on one of two writing prompts: 1) What two classes should every college student should take? Why? 2) Describe a current social problem or issue that you consider important. Explain why.
