Applying for Honors
Program membership

Who can apply?
Students who have attended Northwestern for at least one semester may apply for membership in the Honors Program. First-year students are encouraged to apply in their second semester for membership beginning in their sophomore year. The last opportunity to apply is in the spring of the junior year. While grades are only one factor considered for membership, students admitted to the program generally have a GPA of 3.5 or higher.

Why should I apply?
Here are six great reasons!

When do I apply?
Applications are accepted once each year early in the spring semester. Information about the application deadline will be posted around campus.
