Three primary, ongoing funds provide flexibility in supporting our students.
- The Honors College Scholarship Endowment provides much-needed scholarship dollars for our students in a time of rising tuition, declining state support, increasing part-time work, and unprecedented student loan debt.
- The Thesis Fellowship Fund provides support for undergraduate research and creative activities for students who complete a senior honors thesis project.
- The Honors College Study Away Fund provides scholarships for domestic and international study away programs such as the Columbus Program in Intergovernmental Issues (CPII), Washington Program in National Issues (WPNI), the Kent State Florence program, the Kent State Geneva program, and many others.
