FEATURED HONORS STUDENTS

Meet some of our outstanding Honors College students!

 

Sara Hansen

"I am so excited and extremely grateful to the Honors College for awarding me the Spring 2010 Honor College Tuition Waiver. I am thrilled that I chose UIC for my college education. I have made so many wonderful friends, I'm thoroughly enjoying my classes, and I love my job at the Pavilion. I know these are tough times for universities in the state of Illinois, and I look forward to a time when I can give back to the university through the Alumni Association. I promise I will never forget the generosity shown to me and will always strive to help others."

 

Kayleigh Tovar

Kayleigh, a sophomore majoring in chemistry, is financing her education herself. Despite the financial burden, she has maintained excellent grades, and is determined to graduate from UIC. She hopes to pursue higher degrees in dentistry and public health so that she may provide health services to those in impoverished areas.

Kayleigh currently works 20-25 hours per week. As she begins upper level courses, however, she knows that she will not be able to work as many hours. The Honors College is able to provide financial assistance to Kayleigh through the Honors College Scholarship Fund.
