University Honors Program
The University Honors Program offers intellectually stimulating classes and career-building opportunities. Smaller in size, Honors classes are taught by outstanding professors; foster active, engaged learning; and emphasize problem-solving, innovation, and creativity. Via their experiences in the program, UHP students are challenged to explore new ideas and to evaluate held knowledge. The program provides research and internship opportunities and assists students to study abroad, to apply for scholarships, and to acquire the skills and credentials for successful careers.
UHP offers the University Honors Program Scholarship to qualifying in-coming, transfer, and continuing students who participate in UHP.
Impact
“I am writing to thank you for providing the University Honors Program Scholarship to me. This scholarship allowed me last semester to focus on my classes rather than stress about how I was going to pay for my next semester. The impact that had on my grades is undeniable — by allowing me to focus my time on my studies was a key factor in not only maintaining my GPA, but also in allowing me to truly comprehend material rather than learning for the tests. This scholarship has been a blessing to me in the past and will continue to be this year. Thank you so much.” —Michelle W., Sociology and Criminal Justice major
