Honors College Scholarship Awards

The Honors College awards scholarships 
to Entering first year, Entering IB Diploma 
first year, Current Honors students, HAL majors, 
and Honors Ambassadors. The Honors College 
has disbursed over $205,000 between the five 
classifications of students for the year. For the 
2014 academic year, 175 Honors students

received an Honors College scholarship.  
We were also able to award study abroad 
scholarships for the Fall 2014 and Spring 
2015 semesters, as well as the Maymester 
and Summer I and II programs.  In total, we 
assisted over 90 students to study abroad, 
expand their horizons, and learn from a 

truly valuable and hands-on international 
experience.

All scholarships awards are made possible 
thanks to the generous donors who have given 
to Honors College scholarship endowments.

Undergraduate Research Scholars

Students doing undergraduate research work 
with faculty experts in fields ranging from 
Animal Science and Biology to Business, Cell 
Molecular Biology, Chemical Engineering, 

History, Mathematics, Psychology and Nutrition. 
These experiences are foundational in that 
they place the students at the forefront of 
knowledge generation. Furthermore, this 

activity can be leveraged into writing an 
Honors thesis and applications for national 
and international awards such as the Rhodes, 
Gates-Cambridge and Goldwater.
