Julius Olsen Honors Program
One of HSU’s top academic distinctions, our Julius Olsen Honors Program provides enriching educational and co-curricular opportunities to some of our most motivated and exceptional students. Honors students are 挑战d to find connections and integration between academic disciplines, and particularly to learn to integrate faith and intellect. We believe that our intellectual pursuits should become spiritual quests, and our spiritual quests should become intellectual pursuits.
Our Honors program offers students the chance to eng年龄 in deeper discussions about the world around them. HSU Honors students will be faced with difficult questions about how we think, how we believe, and how we should live in a complex world as educated, intellectual followers of Jesus. We bring together students from all majors to eng年龄 in problem-solving, scholarly work and group activities designed to enhance this unique learning experience.
Honors life at HSU also includes social events such as picnics, parties and intramural teams, opportunities for service to the campus and community, and annual opportunities to 旅行, both internationally and within the U.S. We’ve made Honors trips to New York, New Orleans, Greece, Spain, and Italy.
Students who are accepted into the program will receive a $25,000 annual scholarship in place of their general HSU academic scholarship.

Leland Scholars
Up to five members of the fall Julius Olsen Honors Program class will be chosen as Leland Scholars. Determination of eligibility for the Leland 奖学金 will be made by the director of the Honors Program after the Honors class is chosen for that year. Recommendations for 奖 at all levels will be made to the associate vice president for enrollment services by the honors director in consultation with the Honors Council.
Leland Scholars will receive a full-tuition scholarship award. As with all Honors scholarships, the Leland Scholarship is for tuition only, and cannot be awarded above tuition cost.
荣誉教授
Many HSU faculty members are drawn to teaching in the Honors Program because it allows them to work closely with bright, inquisitive students, while also getting the chance to develop a challenging course that fits their area of interest while expanding beyond the confines of their typical classes.
