Admissions Portal
This application is for incoming students, not current Illinois State University students.
If you are a current student, please visit Honors.IllinoisState.edu to learn how to join the Honors Program.
There are specific sections reserved for new current and transfer students. You are encouraged to hold one of these times in your Fall 2025 schedule. Information on registration for this course will be provided with admission notification.
Honors students are often motivated by intellectual curiosity, a sense of creativity, or the thrill of a challenge. What motivates you? Provide examples that illustrate your own source of motivation.
The Honors Program encourages campus and community involvement. Think about your involvement on campus and/or in the community, which may include employment and/or family responsibilities.
Examples of what you might write about include (but are not limited to) student organizations, athletics, fine arts, jobs, or volunteer positions. Pick the things you have been involved with outside the classroom that have impacted you the most.
