Honors vs. Scholars?

Just curious, what are the differences between Honors and Scholars?

Is one more selective than the other?

Can you be in Scholars but not live in the provided community housing?

Congratulations to all who have been admitted! Go Terps!

There’s a thread for this somewhere. I had the same question lol. Basically, honors committee picks from batch first, then scholars selects. Honors is more focused on better academics, while scholars does more community service and completes a final project of sorts. That’s what I read: forgive me if I’m misinformed

Honors is “more selective”, Scholars is kinda considered the lower honors, but both are awesome to be in :slight_smile:
