Each year the ACU Faculty Senate honors no more than 50 of the top students at ACU who have been identified by their department for demonstrating academic scholarship.  These students must have achieved a GPA of at least 3.5 and have earned at least 90 hours by the end of the fall semester preceding the presentation of the honor.
