Honors Alumni Board Scholarship
Each year, the Central Michigan University Honors Alumni Board will award two $500 scholarship to a deserving CMU Honors student. This award is based on academic, community service, and extracurricular accomplishments while a student at CMU. The award is presented at the Honors Program Graduation Reception each May.
To be eligible for the Honors Alumni Scholarship, a student must:
- Be an Honors student in good standing with the Honors Program
- Have completed 56 credit hours by May of the current academic year
- Be enrolled at CMU during Fall of the next academic year
The deadline to apply for this scholarship is in February of each year. Watch for deadline dates to be announced in the Honors Announcer.
Honors Study Abroad Funding Awards
An international experience is an indispensable part of a student’s overall education and will provide students with an international perspective that cannot be fully recreated in the classroom. In the interest of promoting international study, the Honors Program has created a small fund to assist students interested in a study abroad experience. Please note that the dollar amount of the award will be dependent upon the number and quality of applicants, the cost of your trip, as well as funds available.
Interested students can pick up an application in the Honors Program main office. Deadlines for applications will be announced in the Honors Announcer.
Honors Program Director Awards
Each year the Honors Program Director selects 5-6 students to be formally recognized at the Honors Graduation Ceremony who have been very active in the Honors Program while maintaining high academic standards. The awards are accompanied by a stipend.
Monies are available for students that need assistance to complete their Honors Senior Research Project or other types of research and for those wishing to attend a conference. To be eligible for an Honors Research Grant, a student must:
- Be an undergraduate Honors student enrolled at CMU during the semester the application is submitted
- Be actively completing the Honors protocol
- Acknowledge the Honors contribution at events, SRCEE, presentations, publications, interviews, news releases, etc.
- Complete a Vending Money application form
Funding preference is given to those students who have not previously been funded by the Honors Program and whose proposed project is likely to lead to publication or presentation at state and/or national conferences.
