ACADEMIC DISTINCTION WITH A PURPOSE

At Victory University, we want our students to maximize their full potential and enhance their total college experience. The Trinity Scholars Honors Program provides a challenging liberal arts education that focuses on academic excellence, faith, service and openness to the world community. We know there are many benefits of honors, including:

  • Recognition and new friendships
  • Exclusive opportunities – Unique honors seminars are offered each semester to TSHP students which give educational and meaningful experiences. Short-term study abroad opportunities, historical tours, charitable endeavors, community service, and fun extracurricular activities have been built into this honors program just for you!
  • Students Changing the World – TSHP students learn more about the world around them while giving back. During Fall Break 2012, TSHP students will be traveling to rural Petersfield, Jamaica to assist the community with various service projects, including student tutoring. In addition to local outreach, the group will tour local cultural and historical sites, such as sugar plantations and former slave tunnels, related to our entry level history and literature courses. Students will stay in homes within the community to add to their cultural experience.
  • Prominent Graduation Honors – Receive a special diploma, recognition at commencement, and a special identifier on your permanent transcripts for future colleges and employers to value become a part of your honors.
  • Honors Dormitory – Coming Fall 2012. More information available soon!
