George M. Luckey Jr. Honors program competitive and rewarding

The George M. Luckey Jr. Academic Honors program at Morehead State University is rigorous and competitive, but participating students reap rewards benefiting them throughout their collegiate experience and beyond.

Acceptance into the MSU honors program provides incoming freshman students with a full four-year college scholarship, which includes tuition, textbooks, housing, dining plan and priority registration for classes.

Additionally, honors students benefit from direct involvement in service learning projects and the undergraduate research fellows program at MSU. Participating students also receive up to $2,000 in funds to be used for a required study abroad experience.

Philosophy major and honors student, Aspen Grender, has been accepted with full funding in a graduate program in religion at the University of Kansas. He attributes much of his success to his participation in the MSU honors program. "Being part of the honors program at MSU has been vital to my college experience. The program's interdisciplinary curriculum encouraged me to examine, carefully consider, and appreciate important subjects from various perspectives," Grender said. "I formed strong relationships with other honors students, and with the support and guidance of the faculty in the program, I strengthened my research and presentation skills, leadership abilities, and overall work ethic. I have grown both personally and academically, and I have become better prepared to pursue my goals."
