What is the difference between being an Honors Scholar and graduating “with honors”?
Honors Scholars are proactive about their educational experience. They have applied for and been accepted into the Honors Program, taken Honors classes, and fulfilled the other requirements of the Program. As a result, they are eligible for Honors Foundation Awards, a variety of specially designated scholarships, recognition, and Honors travel opportunities. Graduating with honors simply means a student has achieved a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
