Scholars Day is a series of invitation-only events during which the Irvin D. Reid Honors College recruits its freshman class from the university’s most promising first-year applicants. During the event, students will participate in a group interview, campus tour, and various presentations.

Every student who is invited and participates in Scholars Day receives an award. The minimum award amount for the 2008 Scholars Day was a tuition scholarship of $2,000 a year for four years. Participants are also considered for increased scholarship offers, up to and including the Presidential Scholarship as well as privately funded scholarships.
