Honors Scholar Program
The Highline Honors Scholar Program is for motivated, academically successful students looking to be better prepared to transition to a four-year academic institution or looking to open doors to competitive professional/technical opportunities.
Dr. Clinton introduces guest speaker Dr. Bernadette Thomas,
nephrologist, clinical research fellow at the U.W.'s
Kidney Research Institute, to the Honors Colloquy.
Students will learn how to "Play the Game" of higher education with the help of an inspirational speaker's series, a "boot camp" in the college application process, 30 credits of demanding advanced projects in all three areas of general education, and a capstone project.
We work to help students attend the college or university that fits them best, earn the most in scholarships and financial aid that they can muster, and graduate having "opened doors" for themselves to all kinds of opportunities.
Students work with the Honors Director to find a college or university that is right for them and construct resumes, personal statements, and essays to use for college and scholarship applications.
Honors Options in various courses challenge students to become better prepared for the upper division college- level work that awaits them at the end of their AA degrees.
Students will have connections to many programs, as well as Honors alumni and faculty at many competitive colleges around the United States.
