Honors Day scheduled for Feb. 25

Published: January 06, 2012

Students will have the chance to earn scholarships during the spring semester as Lyon College hosts the last Honors Day of the year Feb. 25 on campus.

Open to students accepted at Lyon College and having either a 3.25 GPA or better or an ACT composite score of 23 or better, Honors Day is a four-part competition that gives prospective students a chance to earn scholarship money including full tuition, room, board, fees and books. Participants are guaranteed an academic scholarship of no less than $6,500 per year. 

The competition involves four areas: grade point average, ACT score, writing sample, and personal interview with faculty and staff members. 

To compete, students must be accepted to Lyon College and submit an Honors Day RSVP online at http://tinyurl.com/HonorsDay. 

Students will begin the day with a brief welcome followed by the essay competition and interviews. Students and parents will also get to talk with current Lyon College students and faculty members.
