Distinguished Alumni Scholarships

The Distinguished Alumni Scholarship program began in 1978. Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of superior academic performance and potential, creative abilities and service to their schools and communities, not on the basis of financial need. Each year, a Distinguished Alumni Scholarship in the amount of $1,500 is awarded to one of the top students admitted to the University Honors Program. The scholarship is renewable for up to four years.
