The University of Toledo Admission

Presidential Scholars receive $25,000 per year for four years. 

Presidential Scholarship

Presidential Scholars receive $25,000 per year for four years. The scholarship includes a one-time $3,000 stipend for an experiential learning opportunity. 

Each academic year, The University of Toledo awards the campus' highest distinction, the Presidential Scholarship, to a select group of incoming freshmen whose high school achievements distinguish them both as students and as members of their respective communities. As a UToledo Presidential Scholar, you can do so much more in the next four years than you’d ever imagine.

  • Master the fundamentals of community engagement through interactive experiences.
  • Be recognized as an academic leader through experiential learning like internships, research and study abroad.
  • Grow relationships with mentors who are faculty and campus leaders, dedicated to your academic growth.
  • Become the best version of you while challenging others to think differently.
Past scholars have gone on to medical school at Columbia University, start non-profits and businesses and even work at Fortune 500 companies like BP.
