The Texas Exes is pleased to announce the Forty Acres Scholars Program Class of 2023. More than 4,000 students applied for the elite scholarship program, which inspires and nurtures visionary leaders and helps them use their talents to benefit society. Back in February, 54 impressive finalists visited UT campus for a full weekend of in-person interviews and a glimpse at what life on the Forty Acres could be.
Today, we are thrilled to introduce you to our 15 new and exceptional Forty Acres Scholars. Among the incoming class is an award-winning playwright, a classically trained pianist, and a founder and CEO of a nonprofit. Many more are decorated varsity athletes, AP Scholars, and leaders of student organizations.
These scholars will receive full funding for their tuition, a living stipend, a book stipend, and opportunities for enrichment activities including a community component, a global experience, and professional experiences. As the only program of its kind administered by an alumni association, Forty Acres Scholars develop a unique connection with their alma mater—and with each other. Over their four years on campus, scholar cohorts form a tight bond with each other, and serve as a powerful network and resource to each other during their time on campus and beyond.
I don't know. It's possible no white dudes applied for this scholarship. But from the videos I've seen posted recently... this isn't too far off from the demographic of the campus now.
