Scholarships and Grants

The John Martinson Honors College (JMHC) is committed to internationalizing the honors experience of our students. International education and intercultural development are the soil in which we nurture world-ready students—a critical outcome of the JMHC experience. In addition to the inherent benefits of internationalization, our suite of global enrichment grants support students’ completion of the honors curriculum by providing resources for activities that award honors credits, are high impact, and/or enhance students' sense of belonging.

Global Enrichment Grants

At the John Martinson Honors College, we value intercultural development and intercultural contact. We acknowledge that not all students can study away—owing to financial costs, jobs, internships, and other responsibilities or obstacles. Thus, we seek to make opportunities for intercultural development and intercultural contact accessible to all our students. We do this in a few ways vis-à-vis courses offered on campus, visiting international scholars, and extra-curricular activities.
