You must submit your FAFSA by 5/1/2024 deadline and have a complete ASU admissions application on file (application, test scores, transcripts and application fee) by 1/15/2024 in order to be considered for the Obama Scholars Program. This deadline applies to both incoming freshmen and current Obama Scholars. Meeting criteria and deadline dates does not guarantee placement in the program as funding is limited and the program will close when available funds have been exhausted.
