About CHA:
Murray State University is pleased to announce that next summer’s Commonwealth Honors Academy will be held June 6th-June 27th. Last summer, the Academy brought together 94 gifted high school juniors from throughout Murray State’s service region for three weeks in an interdisciplinary living-learning environment. As a reminder, upon the completion of the Academy, students will:
1. Receive six hours of university studies credit
2. Have the opportunity to take six additional hours of tuition-free university courses at Murray State University during their senior year.
3. Be awarded a four-year $2,000 per year housing scholarship to Murray State University.
4. The only cost is a $195 tuition-processing fee. (fee waived for students receiving free or reduced student lunch, or ACT Free Waiver)
Please help the CHA Leadership Team by notifying juniors who might be qualified for this selective program. In order to qualify for the academy, students must have:
1. Completed the junior year of high school
2. A composite ACT of approximately 25 and a 3.5 GPA on the 4.0 scale
3. Other credentials, such as community involvement, class rank, and teacher recommendations are taken into consideration in the selection process.
