Honors Program
The Velma Fudge Grant Honors Program is an academic program that represents a commitment
made by Albany State University (ASU) to broaden and enrich the educational experiences
of bright, highly motivated and creative students. Honors Program students are provided
opportunities for scholarships, access to special extracurricular programs, a chance
to pursue independent projects and research interests, professional experience through
internship programs and special service options. Through its specially catered curriculum,
the V.F. Grant Honors Program provides the opportunity for faculty to teach academically
talented students in inventive, interdisciplinary, small class settings designed to
fulfill core curriculum requirements. Additionally, these students participate in
advanced or intensive classes in particular disciplines. The Honors Program is specifically
designed for academic scholarship recipients, academically talented freshmen, and
transfer students with a proven dedication to academic excellence and scholarship.
The Honors Program student must reach beyond scholarly grades for success and have
the courage to demonstrate superior ethical leadership in his/her chosen field of
study.
The Honors Program serves as an educational catalyst for students to enhance the regular
ASU experience. It focuses on intellectual accomplishment, high scholarship commitment,
leadership, education and commitment to community-centered learning.
