Give to Honors
Your gift to the Renée Crown University Honors Program directly invests in the academic and professional futures of Syracuse University's most motivated students.
Through the generosity of our donors, Honors is able to offer two funded opportunities that make a real difference:
Academic Enhancement Awards provide up to $2,000 to Honors students in good standing to help offset the costs of study abroad, undergraduate research, and professional development activities like conferences and internships. Students may receive up to three awards over their time in the program, and first-time applicants are prioritized — making this a strong option for students who have never received funding before.
Crown Thesis Funding supports Honors students conducting original undergraduate research for their thesis projects. Funding covers research materials, travel, and in some cases, summer living expenses, helping students dedicate the time and resources their best work deserves.
Every gift, at every level, makes a direct difference. Students who receive these awards are required to share their experiences — the stories you see here are a testament to what your support makes possible.
