IVCC Honors Program

Welcome to the Illinois Valley Community College Honors Program website! 

If you're interested in any of the following benefits, the Honors Program is the place for you at IVCC: 

  • An opportunity to receive one of 14 half-time tuition waivers available to each group of incoming Honors Program students
     
  • Consideration for a $750 award to the Honors Program applicant with the best application essay and a $750 award to the student who is judged to have the best first year in the Honors Program, both awards courtesy of the IVCC Foundation
     
  • A first semester, tuition-free Honors Orientation course designed to help students identify individually relevant educational and/or career goals and to create an Honors Plan for pursuing their goals while in the Honors Program
     
  • Access to Honors-sections of IVCC courses comprised solely of fellow Honors Program students and featuring low student-to-faculty ratios
     
  • A tuition-free Honors Portfolio course designed to help students demonstrate how they have pursued or achieved their educational and/or career goals while a member of the Honors Program
     
  • Social and academic Honors Program events
