Columbus State Honors Program Scholarship

Eligibility

• Gain admission to Columbus State's Honors Program; meeting a minimum criterion does not guarantee admission or a scholarship.
• Incoming applicants need ONE of: high-school GPA 3.5; ACT 25; SAT 1150 (critical reading/math); or the published qualifying placement scores.
• Placement route: ALEKS math 58, Accuplacer reading 80 and writing 6, plus science 30; confirm the current test versions and equivalents with Honors.
• Current students need either 15 college-level credits with at least 3.4 GPA overall and in Columbus State college-level courses, OR faculty nomination.
• CCP students may enter Honors but cannot receive the Honors Program Scholarship while in CCP. Students too far along to complete Honors coursework may be ineligible for program entry.

Requirements

• Use the separate Honors application on a desktop/laptop; the university says the form is not mobile-compatible.
• Spring 2027 Honors admission deadline is December 7, 2026. Autumn 2027 applications are also open, but no autumn closing date is published; this record does not assign the spring admission date as a universal scholarship deadline.
• Confirm scholarship selection, required enrollment and continuation terms with Honors. Published Honors graduation criteria differ from scholarship continuation; do not treat the 3.5 graduation GPA as the entry minimum for every applicant.
• Complete all supporting tasks requested in the current application; public eligibility pages do not establish a universal essay or reference requirement.
