GIVING TO HONORS
Thank you for considering a donation to the University Honors program General Fund or Scholarship Fund. If you would be interested in contributing to the program by hosting an intern please visit Host an Honors Intern
We attempt to stretch each dollar as far as possible, enriching programming and enabling deserving students to continue their education with reduced financial burden.
The Honors General Fund is used to support activities and events central to academic and cultural enhancement for our lively Honors students, including lecture series, art exhibits, course field trips, theater tickets, Honors Abroad courses, research opportunities, the Honors Film Festival, and special adventures such as the faculty guided whitewater raft trip.
The Honors Scholarship Fund provides scholarships to Honors students with strong academic records who would otherwise have to slip even further into debt or interrupt their education due to financial constraints. Scholarship support comes at a pivotal time in our students' lives: they are an exceptionally talented and capable group, poised on the crest of promising and exciting futures that will be all the richer if we invest in them now.
