The Honors Scholars program at Lehigh Carbon Community College is accepting applications for the fall 2024 semester.

For April interviews, applications should be submitted by March 20.

This program is for prospective students who would like to join a small community of intellectually curious and highly motivated students.

In addition to creating a strong foundation for transfer to competitive four-year colleges and universities, the Honors Scholars Program engages students in activities to expand their intellectual, cultural, and social horizons. The program is ideal for students who are willing to challenge their views, discuss their ideas, and explore diverse perspectives.

The Honors Scholars program welcomes a limited number of qualified, full-time, first-year students who plan to graduate from LCCC and transfer to a four-year college or university.

Students who have successfully completed AP courses or high school honors courses, achieved a high school GPA of 3.5 or higher, are a member of the National Honor Society, are ranked in the top 10% of their graduating class, or scored a combined 1200 on their SATs are encouraged to apply.

Scholars receive a full-tuition scholarship, covering tuition and fees after all Federal Pell grants and institutional scholarships are applied. Students must maintain a 3.0 GPA to be eligible for the scholarship each semester.

Students have the option of applying to one of two tracks - Liberal Arts or Science, Technology, Engineering, Math. Students accepted into one of the program tracks complete a minimum of 24 honors credits, which include cohort classes that the group takes together.

Other coursework is based on students’ majors and transfer schools. Honors courses are selected to ensure that students will graduate on time.

In addition, high achieving students who have completed 15-30 credits as dual enrollment students, current LCCC students or students who have transferred in to LCCC from other institutions are encouraged to apply to the Honors College program, which is a one-year scholarship opportunity.
