Scholarship Opportunities
The Honors College currently awards incoming freshmen an Honors College Scholarship. This scholarship was initially funded by a generous gift of Mr. J.L. Holloway. It provides students with full tuition, room, and board scholarships and allows students to partake in all Honors College sponsored opportunities including the summer international experience.
Enrichment Opportunities & International Experience
We believe learning should extend beyond the walls of a traditional classroom. Honors College scholars take part in a wide variety of experiential learning opportunities. Students interact with remarkable guests including community leaders, physicians, politicians, and athletes gaining valuable insight into numerous professional fields. As part of a two-week summer international experience, scholars will explore their education in the global context.
Living & Learning Communities
Scholars in the Honors College may live together in suite-style housing at University Place, a modern residence on the university's East Campus. It is here that students develop life-long friendships and encourage each other to grow academically and spiritually.
Dedicated Advising
The Honors College provides personalized academic advising for all honors scholars. Honors advisors work in conjunction with each student’s departmental advisor ensuring that honors scholars receive a seamless and comprehensive advising experience.
