Engineering Honors Program (EHP)
-
The Cockrell School of Engineering offers a select group of students the opportunity to participate in the Engineering Honors Program (EHP), a non-curriculum-based program that awards merit scholarships to first-year participants. Additionally, participants can be considered for honors housing.
-
The Engineering Honors Program considers all engineering majors for participation in the program after admission decisions have been determined by the UT Office of Admissions. Because the Engineering Honors Program is not a degree program, an invitation to participate in the EHP in no way communicates an admission decision for Cockrell honors degree programs.
-
First-year selections are made by reviewing the standard materials required to apply for admission to the university. After submitting an admission application, an application for the EHP can still be submitted through the external honors program application by December 1. This external application is not required unless you can no longer access the acknowledgment question in your admission application. Students who use either method to apply will be considered equally.
If you are not invited to join the program as a first-year student, you could be invited to apply later if you meet the following criteria:
Completed at least 24 hours in residence in the Cockrell School
Have at least 60 credit hours remaining in your degree program
Rank in the top 10 percent of your class and degree program
