The Texas Leadership Scholars (TLS) Program is a premier, state-funded scholarship opportunity designed to support student success and leadership development. Selected scholars receive a full scholarship to attend UTRGV, along with access to a strong peer network, mentorship, leadership training, and other enriching experiences.

As part of the program, scholars participate in a Living Learning Community (LLC), which requires scholars to live on campus with fellow TLS scholars during their first two years at UTRGV. 

Applications for Fall 2027 will open on October 1, 2026, and close February 16, 2027. For additional information and to apply, please visit: https://texasleadershipscholars.org/.
