The Honors Experience scholarships pay not only for tuition, but also fees and books – nearly the entire cost of attending Cincinnati State. They are among the more than 50 named scholarships offered annually at Cincinnati State, and are an important part of an effort to convince the families of academically gifted students to review the wealth of educational offerings at Cincinnati State in fields that include web design, graphic arts, environmental engineering technologies, renewable energy, nursing and other health care technologies and “transfer degrees’’ that tie in with bachelor’s programs at four-year institutions.

The Honors Experience touches nearly all aspects of life at Cincinnati State. Students who participate in the Honors Experience may, for example:

•  Benefit from priority registration when signing up for classes.
• Enroll in Honors courses, including English composition, American History, psychology, public speaking, microeconomics, anatomy and physiology, critical thinking, sociology, environmental geology, and literature.
• Participate in multi-disciplinary Honors Colloquiums. 
• Supplement their studies with social and cultural activities on campus and in the Greater Cincinnati community.

Minimum requirements for admission to the Honors Experience include an ACT score of 26 or an SAT score of 1,140, a high school GPA of 3.25 and a class rank in the top 20 percent.
