The applicant must agree that if offered admission to the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Honors Program at Yeshiva College or the S. Daniel Abraham Honors Program at Stern College for Women together with a full tuition scholarship, the applicant will:

blank circle make no further college applications
blank circle withdraw any other existing applications to other colleges
blank circle matriculate at Yeshiva University for the Fall 2010 semester or immediately following post-high school Torah study in Israel

 
dot

The Honors Committee will consider applicants for admission to the Honors Programs and for full tuition scholarship only.  Although regular applicants who are admitted to the Honors Programs are often offered an academic scholarship, in most cases it is something less than full tuition.  During the Early Decision process only full tuition scholarships will be awarded.

The Honors Committee will inform all applicants for Early Decision by December 15, 2009.  Those applicants not offered both Honors Program admission and a full tuition scholarship will be reconsidered together with regular applicants to the Honors Programs, and informed of the Committee's reconsideration by April 1, 2010.
