Honor societies recognize and promote excellence in academic achievement.
What is an Honor Society?
The purpose of honor societies are to encourage and recognize students who have achieved a high level of academic accomplishment and to promote excellence within the academic community. Honor societies can provide access to scholarships and grants, increased participation in campus activities, opportunities to make lifelong connections, and open paths to careers.
Why join an Honor Society?
Honor societies bestow honor, recognition, and lifetime distinction upon their members. Consider these benefits that college honor society membership offers:
- Provides a tangible sign of academic success
- Helps to keep members current in their fields through publications and by means of local, state, regional, and national meetings
- Affords members greater insight into disciplines than can be gained through classroom experience alone
- Allows members to meet one requirement for federal employment
