Honors support
As part of our program, students develop valuable relationships and access program-specific awards and aid that help them thrive.
Invested in student success
The program’s community of mentors and donor-supported resources ensure that aspirations are encouraged and nurtured, with questions addressed and obstacles removed whenever possible as honors students pursue the extraordinary.
A network of mentors
From their very first day in the program, students find guidance readily available. First-year seminar assistants, Honors Faculty Fellows, advisors, and program staff can also lend an ear and a hand as plans develop and new directions present themselves.

Honors Opportunity Awards
Known as HOAs, these experiential learning grants of up to $2,000 help current students afford the co-curricular activities they plan to undertake as part of the program’s Enhanced Learning Experience requirement.

Honors Emergency Aid Fund
This fund, part of KU’s Emergency Aid Network, is available year-round to support honors students when unexpected financial hardships arise that could affect their academic progress.
