  • A 100 percent chance that a student's resume will be better with us than while matriculating at a state university.
  • Free field trips, socials and cultural activities
  • Courses that count for both honors and general education credit
  • Honors designation on your transcripts and Presidential Scholars Medallion upon graduation
  • At Honors Northeast, professors ask you if you will need a recommendation. We keep running tabs of your accomplishments, and try to promote your success.
  • Lucrative transferability to leading universities and four-year honors programs; payment of application fees to world-class universities
  • A definite edge in the workforce
  • Linkage to community patrons with meals and luncheons.
  • An honors office reserved for your work, conferring an ability to compare notes with other honors students, with free printing, and often, free drinks provided.
  • More opportunities to publish, present work, to appear in a film, win a poetry or poster contest. (We believe that scholarship is the best route to scholarships).
