Honors Institute
Community of Scholars Honors Program

The Honors Institute includes the prestigious Community of Scholars honors program and the coordination of major scholarship programs for students.  As honors program participants, students automatically are members of the Honors Institute, which is devoted to the recognition and enhancement of the academic achievement of CF scholars.

The Honors Institute offers diverse opportunities for students to expand their knowledge beyond the classroom. Throughout the academic year, field trips are scheduled to provide educational exposure to a variety of social and cultural activities and events.  Field trips for members during the past year included touring Walt Disney World’s Epcot, the Kennedy Space Center, the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa, and the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine.  Our members will have the opportunity again this year to travel to special events and points of interest in central Florida.

Many Honors Institute students participate in state and regional conferences developed by the Florida Collegiate Honors Council, the Southeastern Regional Honors Council and Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society.

Other benefits include the privilege of registering for courses on the first day of availability, membership shirts, honors program medallions, and graduation with honors distinction at commencement.
