[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UvA doesn’t have honors but has the Jefferson Scholarship program ( must be nominated by your high school - you need to be a top student) and Echols, which is decided by admissions but has no monetary perks[/quote] Echols Scholars are only within Arts & Sciences. The engineering equivalent are the Rodman Scholars. Both are used to attract top students who might pick an ivy or similar. Echols waives a lot of course requirements; Rodman does not. Both get preferential course selections. Both are housed together in a particular first year dormitory. Curiously, Jefferson Scholars are selected by a separate foundation -- and are NOT selected by UVa. Public taxpayer funds are NOT used for the Jefferson Scholars program. None of these is an "Honors College".[/quote]
