What is the Selection Process?
Honors Program applications require an essay and a teacher recommendation. Selected applicants are required to interview with the Honors Council as part of the final application process. Once the interviews are completed, the Honors Council makes its final decisions and offers invitations to the chosen applicants.
Application Due Date
We are accepting applications through May 1 for the fall 2010 incoming class. Slots are limited so we strongly encourage early application.
