Can an international freshman receive it?

Howard Payne’s admissions materials include an international category, but the Honors page does not expressly confirm every visa category for these awards.

Before applying

Extra conditions and deadlines

MacArthur requires all three academic criteria. The lower Honors level uses alternative criteria; verify international eligibility and selection rules.

A qualifying score is not an award offer. Confirm admission, transcript conversion, official-score rules, funding availability and renewal conditions with the university.
