Benefits

The Honors College extends a wide array of benefits to its students. These include:

• a range of Honors College scholarships,
  
  

• the full use of the facilities in the Academic Wing of the Honors Complex, open continuously to all Honors students, whether residents of the Complex or commuter students,
  
  

• the opportunity to live with other highly-motivated Honors students in either the residential wing of the Honors Complex, including the attached Orr Hall,
  
  

• special recognition at graduation and on your transcript,
  
  

• personal honors faculty advisors, as well as our own academic advisors, 
  
  

• participation in community events with groups such as the Honors Club, the Honors Business Group, the Association of Honors Educators, the Honors Delegates, the Honors Book Group, and the Rhythm & 'Roos a cappella singers.
  
  

• honors sections of introductory courses,
  
  

• work closely with faculty in small honors colloquia courses,

Perhaps most important is the feeling of community when you are with a group of students who are as curious and motivated as you are.
