The Smittcamp Family Honors College at California State University, Fresno has admitted its 11th entering class, high-achieving high school graduates who will receive scholarships for the 2009-10 academic year.

Students accepted for admission receive an annual President’s Honors Scholarship for their undergraduate degree program up to a maximum eight semesters, which will cover in-state registration and fees, a laptop stipend and an optional credit for a two-person community-style room in university housing. Additional financial benefits include free Internet access, free campus student parking and extended library checkout privileges.

The Smittcamp Family Honors College is unique in the California State University system because scholarship students are admitted as a group, take a series of specially designed honors courses and interact in educational and social activities.

Honors College applicants must score 1800 or above on the SAT, be in the upper 10 percent their graduating class or have a minimum 3.6 GPA in college preparation classes.

The Smittcamp Family Honors College began in 1998 with a $1 million gift from Earl and Muriel Smittcamp and family, a prominent agribusiness family and longtime supporters of Fresno State.
