Honors Scholars Program
City Tech's Honors Scholars Program is open to any student who has completed at least 12 credits with a cumulative GPA of 3.4 or better and needs more than 18 credits to complete their degree. Transfer students entering City Tech with 12 or more credits and a GPA of 3.4 or higher are eligible to apply
As a member of the Honors Scholars Program, you can expect to:
- Be nominated for membership in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS), which can increase the marketability of your labor power and help you identify a career path.
- Develop professional contacts locally (since today's high-achieving City Tech students are often tomorrow's highly placed professionals) and nationally (through NSCS membership and participation in our chapter activities).
- Be among the first students to enroll in courses.
- Complete projects on topics of interest to earn honors credit in classes you are enrolled in, volunteer at approved nonprofit organizations, take part in our DNA Learning Center lab series, and explore your creative mind by creating a narrative-driven digital or non-digital game to share your knowledge with other students as a game lab intern.
- Participate in numerous extra-curricular activities, such as game jams, presentations that provide mental health resources, workshops on resume writing, effective strategies to employ when interviewed for a job by leading corporations such as ASML, and American Red Cross disaster preparedness, as well as on graduate school admission by an admissions and recruitment director of Cornell University.
- Be considered to join a supported cohort preparing to enroll in one of Cornell University Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) Programs. Selected students moving on to Cornell are fully funded.
Graduating scholars who have been active in the program for at least three semesters and who complete an exit interview will receive our official recommendation letter noting their involvement. If you have any questions, contact the Director of the Honors Scholars Program, Dr. Reneta D. Lansiquot-Panagiotakis.
