University Honors Global Scholars: Excellence with a Global Focus

TROY’s University Honors Global Scholars Program offers an elite academic experience for high-achieving students, combining interdisciplinary learning with global engagement. Through leadership development, international study, and specialized coursework, students gain the insight and skills to excel in graduate studies, professional careers, and beyond. Our Fall 2025 Cohort includes an impressive group of students—10% of whom ranked in the top 5% of their high school graduating class. Among them are published writers, award-winning photographers, costume designers, and even a young CEO who founded a business while still in high school. Representing 10 states nationwide, these scholars have traveled to more than 17 countries, and 25% are proficient in a foreign language. Here are a few more stats that showcase the excellence of our inaugural University Honors Global Scholars class.
