What should I expect?

JBU's Scholarship Competition is a semi-formal event beginning with the Honors Scholars Banquet on Sunday evening. On Monday, you will participate in two interviews. Between interviews, there will be opportunities to connect with the JBU community, learn more about academic programs, meet Honors students and imagine your future here.

Which competition should I attend?

You may choose to compete in either the fall or spring competition but you may only compete once. If you are interested in the Early Commit Track, you should compete in the fall event.

Each event has a limited number of seats, so we recommend that you register early to reserve your spot.

Can my parents come?

Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend! However, on-campus accommodations are not available to your guests. See the visitor information page for a list of local hotels.

How should I prepare for my interviews?

We recommend reading two excerpts.

What should I wear?

We suggest business professional attire for the banquet and for your interviews. Dress as you would for an important job interview.
