Benefits
Early Registration
All Honors students have priority registration. This means that regardless of class standing, Honors students may register for classes on the first available day.
Conferences
Honors students are frequently invited to present research findings at conferences around the country--especially the Southern Regional Honors Conference, the National Collegiate Honors Conference, the Virginias Collegiate Honors Conference, and the National Conference on Undergraduate Research--and engage in other travel opportunities while in the program.
Students who are accepted to present their research at these conferences will have their expenses paid for by the honors program.
Scholarships
Every academic year the Cormier Honors College awards two to three Cormier Citizen Scholarships, six Hull Education Scholarships, three Longwood Scholar stipends and two Advanced Honors Program scholarships.
Housing
As of August 2007, Wheeler became the new honors residence hall. The 3rd floor is designated specifically for honors freshmen who are required to reside in Wheeler their first year. Honors sophomores, juniors, and seniors may also live in the building, but are not required.
Study Abroad
Mary Elizabeth Hoover traveled for a month to France. She along with eight other LU students earned 3 credits for the History of France and 3 credits for various levels of French.
The Honors program financially supported her in this endeavor.
