Honors Program

The Honors Program empowers academically motivated students to thrive, both in and out of the classroom. Through enriched coursework, hands-on undergraduate research, and leadership opportunities in top student organizations, Honors students grow as scholars, leaders, and change-makers. Our vibrant living-learning community in Great Plains East fosters close connections and personal growth, serving as the home base for the Honors peer mentor program. The Honors Club brings students together through monthly social events and a strong commitment to giving back, both on campus and in the greater Aberdeen community.

This GiveNDay, we invite you to invest in the future of our Honors students by supporting three impactful scholarship areas:

1. Honors Research and Academic Support – Help students pursue high-impact research by easing the financial burden of materials, travel, and other expenses.

2. Honors Thesis Scholarships – Provide essential support to offset the cost of thesis seminar credits as students complete their thesis project.

3. Honors Incoming Students – Give new Honors students a strong start by reducing the financial barriers.

Your gift makes a lasting difference—thank you for supporting the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and innovators.
