About Gateway Scholars
LCAE Phone Number:
(512) 471-1205  The Gateway Scholars Program is a multi-year program designed to facilitate and enhance students’ transition from high school to college. We support our students to ultimately be successful in college and to prepare them for their future after graduation from the University of Texas at Austin. The Gateway Scholars program is a signature program of the Longhorn Center for Academic in the Division of the Diversity and Community Engagement. The staff strives to make students feel at home, provide them the support to succeed, and give them the tools to navigate through their collegiate journey. What does Gateway offer?
How can I join Gateway?
Through a selective process, the review committee identifies students who would benefit from Gateway’s limited enrollment classes, support services, group association, and opportunities for extra-curricular involvement. Some of the criteria used to evaluate a candidate include high school grade point average, high school rank, SAT/ACT scores, size of graduating high school class, and interest in joining a smaller learning community. Preference is given to students who are the first in their families to attend a four-year university. For additional information concerning Gateway Scholars, please call (512) 471-1205. |
Students are invited to participate in Gateway Scholars during their senior year of high school, after they have been officially admitted to the University. Students invited to participate must have a solid academic record in high school, and must be highly motivated to meet the rigorous demands of the University.
