Ninety-three students from 40 school districts across Texas attended PVAMU’s annual University Merit Scholarship Reception on March 2. The students received one of the University’s three most prestigious scholarships: the Regents’ Student Merit Scholarship, Presidential Academic Scholarship, and Distinguished Achievement Academic Scholarship.

“These types of programs are designed to showcase our academically gifted students, academic colleges, and University leadership to our entering scholarship class,” said Mark Pearson, director of Enrollment Management.

“The students who were invited to this program worked hard, they didn’t give up, and they applied themselves to the fullest extent during their K-12 careers. We expect them to continue to excel, and we look forward to them joining PVAMU’s Class of 2022,” said Michelle Hill, associate vice president for Enrollment Management.
