In-State Tuition

All domestic U.S. residents admitted to the Cole Honors College and receiving an Honors scholarship are classified as in-state for tuition purposes. Continuation of the in-state rate depends on adherence to the terms and conditions of the University scholarship award as well as progress toward completion of Honors College requirements. For more information, please visit the Student Financial Aid web site or contact the Honors office. 

Renewal

Semester renewal of Honors scholarships is contingent upon academic eligibility, to include maintaining a 3.25 GPA on all courses applied to the UNA degree, adherence to University and Honors College standards, and progress toward completion of Honors College requirements.

Stacking

Honors College scholarships are generally stackable with other University and non-University scholarships and financial aid up to the directly billed cost of attendance. Students may receive only one housing scholarship. Some Honors students may receive a housing scholarship from another source than the Honors College. (In some instances, Honors scholarships may not be stacked with Athletic scholarships due to NCAA regulations.)

Endowed Scholarships 

The Cole Honors College awards a number of endowed scholarships each year funded by private gifts to the University. Students must first apply using the Endowed Scholarship Application to be eligible for Honors Endowed awards. 

Financial Support for Experiential Learning

The Honors College offers scholarships and financial assistance to students participating in study abroad, study away, travel for the purpose of research and presentation, and other forms of experiential learning.
