During the spring, on Honors Interview Day, prospective honors students are invited to learn about the program and interview with faculty and current students. Guilford has allocated substantial funds for honors scholarships, which are awarded without regard to financial need and currently are held by two-thirds of the students in the program. Students who earn a GPA of 3.5 or higher in their first two years at the college are invited to join the Honors Program. Limited scholarship opportunities are available to these students. An internship and a seminar provide 12 credits, and a student may earn an additional four credits by registering for an independent study.
Housing is provided.
Information and application materials are available through the Internships and Service Learning Office. Fall, spring, and summer break programs are regularly planned under faculty leadership. One credit is granted for each seminar. The college arranges for lodging, and a minimal charge to the student covers meals and travel. Two off-campus geology seminars are offered.
