886 named UCA Presidential Scholars

The University of Central Arkansas today announced the names of 886 students who qualified for the undergraduate Presidential Scholars List based on their academic performance during the Fall 2008 semester.

“Qualifying as a UCA Presidential Scholar is a remarkable achievement, because it requires a perfect grade point average,” said UCA Provost Lance Grahn. “We are proud that so many UCA students are performing at such a high level, and that is a testament to their hard work and the supportive learning environment on campus.”

Recognition as a UCA Presidential Scholar requires the achievement of a 4.0 grade point average with a minimum course load of 12 credit hours.

The UCA Presidential Scholars List is compiled and certified by the Division of Undergraduate Studies under the leadership of Associate Provost and Dean Sally A. Roden.
