The University of Memphis offers an exceptional experience for all its undergraduates. For academically ambitious and talented students, we offer the opportunity to participate in the Helen Hardin Honors Program.
The Helen Hardin Honors Program is renowned for extraordinary professors, small classes, and opportunities for research in a variety of disciplines. Our students are award winners, having won the Truman, Goldwater, Fulbright, and Rotary scholarships in recent years, as well as major campus awards. The Helen Hardin Honors Program is about providing intellectual challenge and opportunities for outstanding students.
The Honors Program offers Non-Resident Scholarships to incoming students who enroll full-time and who are actively pursuing graduation with an Honors designation at the University of Memphis.
The scholarship enables out of state students to attend the University of Memphis while paying tuition and fees equivalent to those of in-state residents. This award is stackable with other merit-based awards from the University of Memphis. Students who receive this award are required to take one Honors course every semester until they have earned a baccalaureate degree. We look forward to you joining - as the Helen Hardin Honors Program is a community of high-achieving scholars dedicated to academic excellence, personal growth, and meaningful engagement with the world around us.
