The Banneker/Key Scholarship is an undergraduate merit scholarship awarded to a group of selected students for up to a maximum of eight (8) consecutive semesters. All freshman applicants who are admitted to the Honors College are considered for this scholarship. The selection committee carefully reviews the entire application of each early action deadline applicant, and semifinalists for the scholarship are invited to an interview in late February or early March as part of the final selection process. In selecting Banneker/Key Scholars, the selection committee seeks to identify potential academic leaders, who as individuals and as a group, will enrich and benefit from the campus learning environment.
