Eligibility
All students who wish to participate in the Honors Program must be admitted to Southern. Incoming freshmen with at least a composite score on the ACT of 28 or with at least a grade point average of 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale) in high school course work are invited to apply for admission to the program. Two letters of recommendation, from the student's high school principal and from a high school teacher, and an interview with the Director of the Honors Program is also required.

Students who have already completed between 15 and 30 hours of course work with a grade point average of 3.5 at Southern or any other accredited college or university are also invited to apply for admission into the program. Unfortunately, the Evans scholarship is not available to transfer or current students who are admitted.

The Honors Program will offer special admission to Missouri's Associate's Degree graduates who hold the CBHE Bright Flight Scholarship. Those with at least a 3.5 GPA will be eligible for a scholarship that covers the full cost of tuition, room and board, activities, fees, and textbook rental. Those with a 3.0 GPA will be eligible for a scholarship equivalent to our Excellence scholarship.
