There are only very minor differences between the B.A. and B.S. degrees, and honors students generally meet the most rigorous standards for each. Approximately 35 research scholarships are available to Honors Students. Copies of successful proposals from past competitions are available in the Honors Office at 208 Denny Hall. These competitions are held each spring and autumn. Applications for the Spring Quarter competition are made available each October 1, with a mid-November deadline.
Preference is given to students who have entered candidacy for graduation with distinction.
