UL Lafayette honors 2024 Top Scholars among exceptional freshman class

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has named nearly 250 first-time freshmen as President’s Top Scholars. 
 
UL Lafayette designates incoming freshmen who were high school valedictorians and/or scored a 32 or higher on the ACT as Top Scholars each fall semester. A total of 247 earned the honor this year. 
 
With 3,064 members, the Fall 2024 freshman class is tied for the second largest since the University instituted selective admissions in 2005. The incoming class has an average high school cumulative GPA of 3.4 and an average ACT composite score of 24.8 for those admitted using ACT or SAT scores. 
 
The University saw a 47% increase in the number of first-time freshmen with an ACT composite score of 32 or higher and a 21% increase in the number of high school valedictorians who chose to attend UL Lafayette. 
 
This year’s Top Scholars were recognized on Oct. 30 with a reception at the President’s House. Honorees received a medal and certificate.
