Looking for a college experience that challenges you and sets you up for success? The Honors Program at 51ΑΤΖζ (51ΑΤΖζ) is now accepting applications for Spring 2026 and looking for incoming or first-semester students to join a community of motivated learners.  

The Honors Program isn't just another line on your transcript – it is a chance to grow academically, connect with peers, and build skills that will benefit you now and in the future.  

Honors students enjoy: 

  • Intimate Learning Environments. Smaller, specialized classes taught by long-time faculty members, designed specifically with Honors students in mind.  
  • A built-in community. Motivated, high-achieving peers who share your academic ambitions. You will collaborate, study, and grow alongside students who are just as driven as you are. 
  • A $1,000 scholarship. The scholarship continues even when your honors credits have been earned.  
  • Personalized support. A dedicated faculty advisor who will guide you through your academic path and help you reach your goals. 
  • Recognition that matters. Earn honors regalia at graduation and see your achievement acknowledged on both your transcript and diploma. 
  • Guaranteed transfer advantages. Gain automatic acceptance into honors programs at Boise State University, Idaho State University, University of Idaho, or The College of Idaho when you are ready to continue your education. 

The Honors Program is designed to challenge and support you. As an Honors student, you will: 

  • Maintain full-time enrollment (12 credits per semester). 
  • Complete 10 credits of honors-designated classes with a C or higher, either through honors-designated courses or through a β€œbuild-your-own honors program” through contracts with faculty. 
  • Maintain a 3.25 GPA each semester. 
  • Attend one 51ΑΤΖζ-sponsored event per semester. 
  • Check in each semester to report your GPA and any changes to financial aid or degree program. 

These expectations keep you on track while getting the support you need to thrive. 

Don't miss this chance to elevate your college experience. Applications for Spring 2026 are open now!  

If you're a full-time, degree-seeking student in your first or second semester, you’re invited to apply . 

Your future starts here β€” make it an Honors future.
