Designed for both domestic and international students, the Simmons University Kotzen Scholarship grants are fully funded. The scholarship is specifically for undergraduate studies. Besides tuition and mandatory fees, the scholarship covers room and board as well.
It is an interdisciplinary program that develops thought leaders for the 21st century through rigorous curriculum and experiential learning.
Through the Honors Program, motivated students are guided through complex intellectual tasks and problems, enhancing their undergraduate experience. Students in the Honors program are encouraged to explore other departments and programs in order to enhance their knowledge in their major discipline.
The Honors Program offers an enriched curriculum taught in small seminars and in team-taught courses as part of a “community of scholars.” Teachers and scholars in this community create intellectual environments that challenge Honors students to go beyond what they thought possible, bringing their own research and community engagement to the classroom.
