Outstanding Senior Award
TCU Student Activities is continuing the tradition of recognizing a group of Outstanding Seniors this fall. One senior undergraduate student will be selected through a competitive process of applications, voting, and interviews to represent the University.
Each recognized TCU student organization may nominate one Outstanding Senior applicant. Nominated individuals must then complete the online application in order to be accepted as an official candidate for Outstanding Senior.
Application essays and resumes will be scored and the student body vote will be tallied to calculate the Outstanding Seniors finalists. These 10 finalists will continue in the selection process by participating in faculty/staff interviews and a final student body vote during the week of Homecoming (October 13-18). The Outstanding Senior will be announced at the football game on October 18, 2025, which will be the culmination of Homecoming Week. More information about the selection process can be found in the timeline and resources below.
