National Merit Scholars Program

National Merit Scholars at UT Dallas are high achievers. They work alongside leading faculty members on important research. At exclusive activities, they strengthen bonds with their peers. With the help of advisors, scholars capitalize on UTD’s interdisciplinary programs to achieve their academic goals. Studying abroad is strongly supported, and the University makes it possible with trips that range from several months to several weeks (see the videos below for students’ experiences).
