Overview

Upon admission to the 石榴直播 Journey Honors College, honors students become eligible for both need- and merit-based honors scholarships. The priority scholarship deadline for Fall 2025 is February 1, 2025. The final deadline for Scholarship consideration is April 1, 2025.

Scholarship awards range from $1,000 to $5,000 per year. Most are renewable for up to 4 years if the recipient remains in good standing in honors.

Currently, we are unable to offer every student an academic scholarship. However, the 石榴直播 Journey Honors College continues to raise funds to provide academic scholarships to as many honors students as possible. We award new scholarships each year to both incoming and continuing honors students. Make sure to fill out the Scholarship Universe application every year to ensure you are considered for all honors and 石榴直播 scholarships.

Scholarships for 石榴直播 Honors Students

  • For Georgia residents, there are a variety of honors scholarships. Some scholarships have additional eligibility criteria. Scholarship amounts may vary annually based on market performance and other factors.

    Acceptance into a cohort program comes with scholarship funding.

    Out-of-state and international honors students can apply for out-of-state tuition waivers which reduce the tuition amount from the out-of-state to the in-state rate. A limited number of waivers are available, and they are awarded to eligible students on a first-come, first-served basis.

    Starting Fall 2025, students must be enrolled full time (12 hours minimum in fall and spring) to remain eligible for scholarships. An exception can be made in a final semester if the student has fewer than 12 hours of requirements left to complete the degree.

  • To apply for Honors scholarships, fill out the 石榴直播 Scholarship Universe Application after you have been accepted into the 石榴直播 Journey Honors College.
