The Scholars Program

The Scholars Program at Flathead Valley Community College provides an opportunity for highly motivated students to experience academically rigorous cross-disciplinary honors courses. The seminar style classes present students a more extensive perspective on topics by incorporating two or more disciplines.

The Scholars Program provides academic preparation and curriculum planning to help students succeed in transferring to programs to complete four-year degrees.  The program is designed to provide scholars with a seamless transition to either the Davidson Honors College at The University of Montana or the University Honors Program at Montana State University.  Class sizes are limited to 20 students creating a unique learning community enriched in a specially designed classroom environment.

Applications for each fall semester are accepted beginning in April of each year.  Applications submitted no later than May 1 will receive first priority.  After May 1, The Scholars Program will continue to accept applications until the program is full.

Applications for the spring semester are accepted until November 15 each year if there are openings that occur in the program and will continue to be accepted until the program is filled.  Students are encouraged to submit applications early in the process.

Join us for an open house this spring to learn more about the program, meet the faculty and tour the Scholars Center!
