University Honors Difference
- Grace Semester
To insure that students maintain their scholarships, University Honors
has instituted a grace semester. Should a student fall below the required
3.25 semester GPA, a "grace" semester provides another
chance to improve without penalty.
- Honors Curriculum
The curriculum for the Honors program works concurrently with any
major. Honors students are required to take 19 to 23 hours of Honors
courses depending on their majors. For example, instead of taking
American History, the students take an Honors section of American
History.
Additional Information
All scholarship applicants must be admitted to the University with a Federal Financial Aid Application (FAFSA) on file before a scholarship
will be authorized. All additional information requested by the Financial Aid Office must be submitted by December 1 in order to meet the aid
application requirements for second semester renewal.
Main campus scholarship awards will only pay for main campus coursework and must be used the fall semester following high school graduation.
Students may receive only one Tech-funded academic scholarship in any semester. Academic scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to
participate in early Honors registration. Scholarship recipients must live in a residence hall or receive an exemption to the residency requirements
from the Residential Life Office in accordance with established University policy. Recipients are responsible for making on-campus housing arrangements.
Students who live in Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas are considered in-state for tuition purposes and are eligible to
apply for the University Honors scholarship.
Scholarships are awarded for consecutive fall and spring terms only and do not cover summer terms. Under Arkansas law, Act 323, other financial aid received may reduce the value of the academic award. The maximum allowance for institutional scholarships will be limited so that the total award, including Federal grants and state awarded funds, does not exceed the actual billed cost for tuition, academic fees, room and board, plus a stipend up to $700.
