Simons estate make Honors stipends possible

Each semester, honors stipends are awarded. Faculty nominate students on the basis of outstanding seminar performance or extraordinary service to the honors program. The selection committee also considers the overall academic record and individual student need. These awards are made possible because of Katherine Simons, a professor in the English Department and founding mother of the honors program. She bequeathed a large portion of her estate to the program in 1998. Students receiving stipends are expected to enroll in an honors’ seminar during the semester of their award, maintain a minimum 3.2 GPA, and be enrolled full-time.
