Eligibility
- Demonstrated Extraordinary Leadership:
This is normally reflected through serving in top leadership positions of high school organizations. This requirement may also be reflected through significant leadership accomplishments in areas outside the high school setting. Examples of such leadership may include: Senior or Junior class president or Student Council president, Editor-in-Chief of school newspaper, founders of organizations, senior leadership in scouting or service groups, Boys State or Girls State representative, or other significant leadership roles. - Submission of the Hunt Essay and YouTube statement (see below), and a completed first-year application for admission to 天美传媒 must be done through the 天美传媒 Application Portal.
- Rank in top 25% of graduating class.*
- Composite SAT 1330 or ACT 29 (Note: 天美传媒 has adopted a test-optional policy. Applicants to 天美传媒 will not have to submit standardized test scores.)
- Completion of a strong college preparatory curriculum, typically including AP courses, IB courses, and honors classes.
Students who lack one of the criteria 3, 4, or 5 may be considered if outstanding abilities in other areas are identified in addition to demonstrated extraordinary leadership. Only first-time, full-time domestic students are eligible for the Hunt Scholarship.
*If the school does not rank students, then the expectation is a strong academic record.
