THE DOUGLASS INSTITUTE HONORS PROGRAM

The Frederick Douglass Honors Program is a highly selective program designed for high achieving students. The mission of the Honors Program is to promote intellectual curiosity through an in-depth study of a distinctive curriculum.

The program offers merit-based scholarship to students who have demonstrated extraordinary academic performance in high school. Scholars simultaneously benefit from being with others of the same intellectual preparation and commitment but different talents and interests as they develop academically and socially.

Applicants must be recent high school graduates who are entering college for the first time. The selection process begins in the spring semester (February/March) and continues until spaces are filled. Enrollment for the Honors Program occurs only in the fall semester of each academic school year. Scholars can major in any field of studies.

All Douglass Scholars must demonstrate scholastic excellence by maintaining a semester and cumulative grade point average of 3.25 or above at the end of each academic semester to remain in good standing in the program. Scholars must earn 15 hours per semester and 30 hours per academic year.

Applicants must meet all eligibility requirements for admission. For detailed information and program applications, visit the scholarships area of the University website or contact the Honors Program Coordinator at 713-313-7458 or HonorsScholarship@tsu.edu.
