Honors Scholarship

Each year The Honors Program awards a scholarship for the best paper written in one of its seminars. Any student in an honors seminar held during the fall or spring semesters of the 2009-2010 school year may submit a seminar paper for consideration. Submissions will judged by a panel comprised of faculty and administrators. The winning student will receive a scholarship, a certificate of award, and recognition during the college's annual Honors and Awards Ceremony. In past years, the amount of the scholarship has been $500.
