At Geneva College

The Geneva College Honors Programs provide opportunities for students to challenge themselves by digging deeper into the college experience, exploring what it means to be a Christian scholar and discovering the lordship of Christ in every aspect of academic life. Incoming freshmen are invited, based on their academic performance in high school, to compete for membership in the First Year Honors Program. There are 30 available positions in the program.

In addition to identifying qualified students for the First-Year Honors Program, the competition will identify the top five students to receive a $5,000 Honors Scholarship. This scholarship is in addition to other Geneva Scholarships and Grants previously awarded and it is divided evenly over four years (eight semesters). Additionally, a $2,000 Travel & Research Honorarium is provided to all students who complete the First Year Honors Program with an earned GPA of 3.4 or higher at the end of the first year. This honorarium may be used for off-campus study, academic research or conference attendance.

Eligibility To Compete: In order for students to be invited to participate in the competition they must: 

• have a cumulative GPA of 3.6 or higher, and
• have a SAT of 1200 or higher, (evidence-based reading and writing + math) or,
• have a ACT of 25 or higher or, 
• have a CLT of 78 or higher

To be considered for the program, students must complete both components of the competition:
