Yes, it IS that simple. Just keep an eye on the Scholarship Criteria to make sure there are no changes for the year your student applies.

For 2015-2016 a student needed the following criteria and had to meet a scholarship deadline of December 15 after applying and being accepted.

PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR

A first-time freshman student who meets the December 15 scholarship priority deadline, has a 32–36 ACT or 1400–1600 SAT score (critical reading and math scores only) and at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA will be selected as a Presidential Scholar and will receive the value of tuition or $99,800 over four years ($24,950 per year) to be used towards undergraduate or graduate studies.**
