  Academics  —  Honors @ Bucks

Honors@Bucks Scholarships

Bucks will award one-academic-year scholarships (32 credits, 16 per semester) to 13 incoming Honors@Bucks students for 2023-24.

To be considered, you must:

  • Graduate from a state-accredited high school this spring;
  • Be eligible for in-county tuition rates;
  • Meet Honors@Bucks admission requirements;
  • Attend Bucks full-time (12 or more credits per semester) in Fall 2023 and Spring 2024, taking at least two honors courses each semester; and
  • Submit (1) a Bucks general application, (2) an Honors@Bucks application (see below), and (3) a 2023-generated high-school transcript (should be sent by guidance counselor to Bucks' Office of Admissions) by Monday, May 15, 2023. 

Honors@Bucks scholarships are awarded on the basis of high-school GPA.

Qualified applicants who do not receive one of our 13 scholarships will still be welcome in the Honors@Bucks program. 

If you're a current, transfer, adult, or re-admitted student, we invite you to take advantage of other Bucks scholarship opportunities; please see www.bucks.edu/scholarships.   

Program Mission

Bucks County Community College's Honors@Bucks Program challenges high-ability, intellectually curious students through honors coursework emphasizing scholarly research, high-order critical thinking, and experiential learning.

Note that while they share students, Honors@Bucks is separate from both Phi Theta Kappa (the national honor society of two-year colleges) and NSLS (the National Society of Leadership and Success).

Program Features

  • A combination of dedicated-honors sections and "honors by contract" work in regular academic sections
  • Scholarship opportunities for incoming Honors@Bucks students
  • Opportunity to earn the Honors@Bucks Associate's Degree
  • Honors designation for honors courses on transcript
  • Same tuition/fees as "regular" Bucks coursework
  • Honors-to-honors transfer agreements with Rider University, Delaware Valley University, Cedar Crest College, and Gwynedd Mercy University

Apply Now - It's Free!

The Honors@Bucks program is open to students in all associate-degree programs who meet the admission requirements

  1. Complete the College's online Application for Admission (if you haven't already); and
  2. Fill out and submit an Honors@Bucks Application (it will be received and processed by Dr. Stephen doCarmo, program coordinator).
  3. Honors@Bucks applications should be received at least a week prior to the start of the semester in which the student will begin honors coursework.
