There are two gateways to Health Science Scholars: one for high school seniors applying to UT-Austin, the other for college transfer students.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS

All incoming, non-transfer students may apply via either the ApplyTexas or Common App, or the separate Honors application at UT-Austin’s Admissions site by December 1. Students who have submitted their application to UT-Austin but did not apply to Health Science Scholars must use the separate Honors application to apply. Application to Health Science Scholars is restricted to students applying to the College of Natural Sciences. 

CURRENT UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS STUDENTS AND TRANSFER STUDENTS

The transfer application portal is currently undergoing maintenance. This website will be updated when the appliction becomes available. Deadline for the spring semester is December 15; for the fall semester, July 31. Students who have completed more than three semesters of college coursework are not eligible for transfer admission to Health Science Scholars. Applications require a short essay, a résumé, and a letter of recommendation from a math or science instructor. Detailed instructions are on the application itself.
