The Admissions Process

Are You Honors Material?

If you’re used to excelling in the classroom, if you’re interested in learning new things, or you’re thinking you may continue on to graduate school, then you might be honors material at SUNY Cortland.

The College’s Honors Program encourages strong students to apply for membership. High-achieving accepted students soon will receive an invitation, although others – including transfers and current students – may also apply.

Acceptance brings with it a $2,000 annual scholarship for up to four years, provided students maintain good academic standing.

Many answered the call.
