JBU Scholarship Competition
Compete for one of JBU's top academic scholarships
This semi-formal event will begin with the Honors Scholars Banquet on Sunday evening. On Monday, students 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.
Each event has a limited number of seats, so we recommend that you register early to reserve your spot.
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.
Event Schedule
The event begins Sunday evening with a semi-formal banquet. On Monday, you'll interview for one of our top scholarships. Your interview times will be assigned at the event.
You'll also have the opportunity to take part in a Q&A session with President Pollard, attend classes and learn more about the JBU Honors Scholars Program. Other events include campus tours, dorm visits, and chapel.
