LONSDALE MAGARO BUILD SCHOLARSHIP
LONSDALE
MAGARO BUILD
SCHOLARSHIP
The University of Austin’s most prestigious scholarship identifies future leaders who embody the spirit of American exceptionalism and show outstanding promise as builders and innovators.
Winners of the Lonsdale Magaro Build Scholarship receive a $100,000 merit scholarship, which is in addition to the four-year full tuition Founders Scholarship they receive as members of the Fall 2024 incoming class.
In its inaugural class of 100 talented students, up to 10 Build Scholars will be selected to work closely with the luminaries in the UATX Talent Network, including Joe Lonsdale, the University’s Board Chairman and founder of Palantir, Addepar, and 8VC. The goal is to mentor and cultivate young thinkers, builders, and leaders who possess great potential in applying their talents to renew American institutions, governance, economy, and society.
Recipients of the Lonsdale Magaro Build Scholarship must demonstrate superior academic achievement, commitment to the United States’ founding Enlightenment principles, a willingness to pursue truth with boldness and courage, and the entrepreneurial spirit to create, build, and lead enterprises and institutions that will advance the American polity.
To be eligible, applicants must submit a supplemental essay as part of their undergraduate application.
Terms and Conditions
The Lonsdale Magaro Build Scholarship program funds scholarships only for students attending the University of Austin who enroll in Fall 2024.
Lonsdale Magaro Build Scholarships cannot be carried over to a future academic year if a student chooses to defer their offer of admission. Any student deferring enrollment forgoes any financial aid (whether Founders Scholarship, Lonsdale Magaro Build Scholarship, loans, grants, academic or merit scholarships, or otherwise) awarded to such student and will need to re-apply for such financial aid at a future date. If a student withdraws from the University or transfers to another institution, any amounts outstanding under the Lonsdale Magaro Build Scholarship award shall be forfeited.
