Who Should Apply
Curious. Committed. Ready to Engage.
The SF Honors Program looks for students who are intellectually curious, self-motivated, and willing to engage beyond the surface. You don't need a perfect GPA. You need to be ready to get the most out of your education.
If you've ever sat in a class wishing it went deeper, that you could do more, or that you knew your professor and classmates as more than faces in a room — this program was designed for you.
Who We Look For
Critical thinkers
Students who question assumptions and dig into ideas.
Engaged learners
Students who participate, contribute, and take ownership of their education.
Strong communicators
Students who can articulate their ideas clearly and engage in meaningful dialogue with peers and faculty.
Motivated achievers
Students who want to challenge themselves, even when it's hard.
Community leaders
Students who understand that education is better when it's shared and are motivated to support those around them.
Which Applicant Are You?
Applying from High School
If you're enrolling at SF directly from high school and want to join the Honors Program from day one, we want to hear from you. Strong academic performance in challenging, college-level coursework and engagement outside of the classroom support your admission to the Program.
Currently Enrolled at SF
Already at SF and wondering if Honors is for you? Now's the perfect time. Many of our students join after their first semester once they get a sense of what they want. If you're finding success in your classes and looking for more engagement, apply.
Transferring from Another College
If you're transferring to SF from another institution and want to pursue Honors here, your previous academic record, connection with your college and community, and transfer motivation will be key parts of your application.
