Honors Day

Honors Day RSVP form
 
Lyon awards a great deal of scholarship money through scholarship competitions we host on campus each year. Due to an overwhelming response this autumn, Lyon has added one, final Honors Day on February 27!

When you attend Honors Day we will examine your GPA and ACT scores, conduct a personal interview, and obtain a writing sample from you. Based on all four of those criteria, at the end of the day we will award scholarship packages that cover up to the full cost of tuition. But even if you don’t get one of those full-tuition scholarships, we offer a wide variety of other scholarships, ranging from $26,000 over four years to more than $77,000. Lyon guarantees students at least $26,000 in scholarships over the next four years just for competing at an Honors Day.

 
To compete at an Honors Day, students must:
  1. Apply for admission to Lyon
  2. Send high school transcripts and ACT/SAT scores (fax to 870-307-7542 or email to admissions@lyon.edu)
  3. Be accepted to Lyon
  4. Have a minimum 24 ACT OR 3.25 GPA.
  5. RSVP for Honors Day online
 
Though we strongly recommend that all students who qualify attend Honors Day due to the large amount of scholarship money available through those competitions, students who do not qualify for Honors Day will very likely qualify for other scholarship money based on ACT and GPA, along with other considerations such as community and campus involvement. Need-based aid is also available for many students. The first step in getting that scholarship money is to apply online and then send your ACT/SAT scores and high school transcript to Lyon at:
