Benefits of Becoming an Honors Scholar

This curriculum challenges academically motivated students, fosters interdisciplinary curiosity, and equips students with the skills necessary for success at a 4-year institution. Students engage in a close community of scholars dedicated to earning a rigorous education, and they work closely with faculty to develop an in-depth understanding of the subject matter in various fields. Students have access to high-impact experiences-like conference presentations, study abroad courses, and self-directed research projects – designed to deepen their appreciation for their career field and prepare them for higher-level learning upon graduation.

Experience all of this while taking advantage of Tennessee Promise, Tennessee Reconnect, the Hope Lottery Scholarship, or any other form of financial aid you plan to utilize! Use the links below to apply for the program and the prestigious Presidential Honors Scholarship.
