The Frederick K. Schoenbrodt Scholars Program

The Frederick K. Schoenbrodt Scholars Program offers excellent full- and part-time students of all ages flexible opportunities to fulfill their general education requirements as part of a supportive, intellectual community that helps prepare them for more advanced study and transfer. Students enjoy learning with outstanding faculty and peers in stimulating honors courses and through active participation in the college’s academic and cultural events.

The Frederick K. Schoenbrodt Scholars Program admits students who meet one or more of the following criteria:

• A high school or college cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher
• An HCC student with an HCC GPA of 3.2 or higher with no more than 19 college-level credits completed.
• A GPA of 3.2 or better at another institution for applicants who are transferring to HCC, with no more than 19 college-level credits completed.

In certain circumstances, consideration will be given to students for whom traditional indicators of success are not always valid.

Honors students maintain a yearly cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher at HCC and participate in honors-designated events each semester.

Students who successfully complete 15 credits of honors coursework and present satisfactory evidence of honors-events participation will receive Honors recognition at graduation.

Honors classes have limited enrollments. The college keeps the class size moderate in order to achieve maximum interaction between the instructor and the students.
