Beginning Fall 2007, this new student success program allows talented undergraduate students from families with adjusted gross incomes below $40,000 to earn bachelor’s degrees without the cost of tuition and fees getting in the way.
In her 2007 inaugural address President Gretchen M. Bataille first announced the implementation of UNT's new Emerald Eagle Scholars program.

"An important measure to help ensure success in this special partnership between the Emerald Eagle Scholars and UNT is the requirement that participants must engage in the richness of university life — including campus activities, mentoring and other student support programs," Bataille says.
"In addition, because we believe a commitment to active engagement on campus is directly related to success, our Emerald Eagles will benefit by through service learning and through working on campus in university departments committed to supporting participants in the program."
