Honors Aspire Program

Students who want to be part of the Aspire program must meet following criteria and apply using the Honors Program application.
(The application is a downloadable PDF that should be saved to your device, filled out, and signed, which can be a digital signature. The completed application should be submitted to the Honors Office through the Student Document Dropbox available in the myEFSC Portal).

• Must have 12 hours or more of college credit and a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
• Be enrolled in EFSC's Associate in Arts or an Associate in Science degree program. (EFSC bachelor degree programs are not part of the Honors or Honors Aspire programs).

Although the Honors Aspire Program allows students to register for Honors courses, it does NOT grant any graduation recognition, such as an Honors Diploma.

If an Honors Aspire student's grades and any other requirements change so that they would meet Honors Program graduation qualifications, they can request a status change with the Honors Office by resubmitting the Honors Program Application one semester before graduation.

As part of Aspire, you'll enjoy the same benefits as other Honors Program students, including tremendous learning experiences taught in small classes (generally six to 15 students).
