The Shepherd Scholars program originated in 1994 through the generosity of Hershel and Augusta Shepherd. Honored students are juniors who have completed at least 60 hours of coursework, carry a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average and have at least two semesters of studies remaining. A committee of Roe Cross Distinguished Faculty members reviews applications and reference letters before selections are made.
