Opportunity to Support the Honors College

Honors has been the cornerstone of recruiting and educating the most academically talented students at Maryland since 1966. With the transition from Honors Program to Honors College in 2009 and the creation of new and exciting living-learning programs in 2010, the Honors College is now even better able to challenge and enrich the education of Maryland's most exceptional students.
