Honors Scholarships
Incoming and continuing honors program students may apply for a McConnell Honors Scholarship. These scholarships carry a $1000 annual stipend, and will be awarded for a second year if the student successfully completes his/her freshman courses. McConnell Scholarship recipients are normally expected to complete at least 9 units of honors - designated classes per academic year, while maintaining a grade point average of 3.25 or better. These scholarships depend upon the availability of funds.
