Meeting on the "What, When, Why, & How of Nationally-Competitive Scholarships"
Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, Goldwater -- these names belong to a handful of foundations that award the nation’s most prestigious and selective scholarships. Among these awards, opportunities exist for students at all levels, for both undergraduate and post-baccalaureate study, in a broad range of disciplines. These scholarships recognize students of exceptional merit who have established outstanding records of accomplishment in and out of the classroom – records that are the result of effort, talent, initiative and planning.
These programs are directed at first- and second-year students, though all are welcome. The informational meetings will be held
from 4:10 – 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22, and from 12:10 – 1:00 p.m. on Friday, April 24 . Both meetings will be held in 1151 Jischke.
Students unable to attend the meeting can learn more about these scholarships at

- Do you want to see what your old FHP leader did for their Honors project?
- Is your roommate forcing you to attend the poster presentation so they'll have someone to talk to when they're presenting?
- Wondering what on earth [insert your major here] majors do for an Honors project?
- Want to gorge yourself on ISU catering brownies?
If you answered YES to any one of those questions, mark your calendar for the Honors poster presentation from 3:00-5:00pm in the MU Great Hall on Wednesday, April 29.
