Honors Development Award

The Honors College provides grants of up to $500 to defray the cost of educational travel, professional development, research, service, or other experiential learning opportunities. Examples include, but are
not limited to: presenting a paper at an academic conference, the costs of equipment and supplies for a specific project, or participating in an alternative spring break service program. We welcome and
encourage students of all class years to apply. Students will be evaluated by class year, with awards made across different stages of study, from first year students to seniors.

Applications are due by the 1st day of the following months: October, November, and March, April.

Please note that while the Honors College can sponsor expenses such as airfare and conference registration, it cannot pay for local travel expenses (rideshare or taxis), meals, per diem, or reimburse
students for expenses. Depending on the project expenses, it may be possible to issue a Development Award as a tuition scholarship or loan reduction. The Honors College must abide by federal regulations
regarding financial aid, so there may be some cases in which an award cannot be provided based on the student’s existing scholarship package. For eligibility and other questions, please contact the Honors College at honors@utsa.edu.
