Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College
Help the Honors College grow and enrich young minds!

Our growing Honors College can be described as enriching, challenging and rewarding.

 

Today, please make a gift to the Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College and invest in future servant leaders. Then watch them change the world! Your support will help many more of our students with scholarships, fellowships and research/independent projects.

 

The Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College merges intellectual rigor with community action.  Demanding academic preparation similar to that of prestigious private liberal arts schools and universities is offered at a far lower cost. A diverse body of high-performing students become citizen scholars, fired by the life of the mind, committed to the public good and driven to find solutions.

 

The highlights of our program include:

  • Study abroad fellowships encourage students to expand their knowledge base. Students have studied in places as varied as Namibia, China, Chile and France.
  • Augmenting academic studies with the experience necessary to succeed allows our students to excel in their chosen careers after graduation. We seek support for students working in unpaid internships or research opportunities.
  • Even more, we want our students to dream big and amaze us. Awards support students who propose ambitious independent programs of study, research or humanitarian efforts.

 

Giving Day is the perfect time to plant a seed and watch it grow! Help the Honors College as we dream bigger, work harder and give more. This is an all-hands-on-deck effort.

 

Please make a gift! Thank you!
