The ShaRP Scholars Early Admissions Program

The School of Health Professions has instituted an early admissions program for high school seniors interested in Radiography. Students selected as ShaRP Scholars are guaranteed a position in the program. ShaRP Scholars may change their major within SHRP but will forfeit their Scholar's status unless the receiving program chooses to allow its continuance. Currently enrolled high school seniors will be considered if they:

1. Receive an ACT composite score of 30 or higher (SAT of 1340); and,
2. Rank in the highest 10 percent of their high school class (subject to interpretation regarding school attended and curriculum); and,
3. Return a completed ShaRP Scholars application, including recommendations postmarked on or before December 1st

Selection from within the applicant pool to the ShaRP Scholars program is on a competitive basis.
