Mount Oread Scholars is a freshman-only program designed to attract and retain highly talented
students. Specifically, we target students with a combined ACT of 28+ or SAT of 1240+ who
graduate in the top 20% of their class. During
New Student Orientation
in the summer, Mount Oread Scholars attend an information meeting and a special lunch. They will
have an opportunity to meet other high ability students and work with a professional or faculty
advisor to determine enrollment options for fall.
How can I get into the program?
The first step is to apply for admission to the University of Kansas through the
Office of Admissions and Scholarships.
Qualified applicants for the Mount Oread Scholars program will be identified based on the
information submitted during application to KU.
In mid-spring, those eligible for the Mount Oread Scholars Program will receive applications.
Students who have been accepted to the KU Honors program
will not receive an application. If you return a completed application form to the
University Advising Center by the date indicated on the
application, you will be admitted to the Mount Oread Scholars Program.
