<p>For most of us here, this is a LONG way away, but did anyone consider this?</p>
<p>USC</a> Renaissance Scholars </p>
<p>I found that some of the recipents' majors aren't that separate (e.g. two humanities), but I could imagine they had really high grades.</p>
<p>I think it's nice but I wouldn't not overdoing it. If my daughter can conveniently fit two majors then that is great but I would stay extra semester for it. I also think the purpose of an undergrad education is to explore, ie take as many different courses in different areas as possible.</p>

<p>My son who just graduated did it. He had an engineering major and a music performance minor. The certificate is nice.</p>
<p>Did he go for the $10k?</p>
<p>The $10K is not for every Renaissance Scholar. I think it is a prize to some selected Renaissance Scholar.</p>

<p>Also the prize is only awarded if you enter graduate school somewhere.</p>
<p>I'm doing two completely separate majors whether I get it or not, but it'd definitely be a nice perk :).</p>
<p>i am doing two majors but if i manage to graduate with a 3.5+ doing engineering and math i will be more surprised than anyone else</p>
<p>haha good luck furyshade... tough stuff!</p>
<p>You do get five years to prove the grad school enrollment though, so it can be deffered.</p>
<p>And the breakdown (Renaissance approved:Prize applicants:Prize winners) is usually 200:75:10.</p>
