Lindner Honors-PLUS General Regulations

Lindner Honors-PLUS offers merit scholarships for undergraduate study in the College of Business at the University of Cincinnati. The goal of the scholarship program is to attract the most outstanding students from Greater Cincinnati and beyond to the Lindner Honors-PLUS Program. Individual merit is the sole criterion for selection.

The scholarship award is designed to finance the recipient's undergraduate study at the University of Cincinnati and is renewable for twelve quarters of study. All renewals are made in advance for one year unless special conditions dictate otherwise. Each scholar is expected to be a superior citizen of the student body, both in achievement and conduct. A scholarship grant may be canceled by academic achievement that fails to meet the Criteria for Continuation or by conduct that is contrary to the high standards of the Lindner Honors-PLUS Program. Conduct cases will be reviewed by the Director prior to a final decision. The Director of the Lindner Honors-PLUS Program also makes renewal decisions.

Financial need, which the University administers through its Office of Student Financial Aid, is not a consideration in applications, recommendations, or selections for the Lindner Honors-PLUS Program. However, need-based financial aid for which an applicant is eligible will be added to the merit scholarship to determine the individual's full financial aid award.

All Lindner Honors-PLUS students are expected to reside in the Lindner Honors-PLUS Housing within the University of Cincinnati's residence halls during their freshman year. The residence experience is an integral part of Lindner Honors-PLUS. Students having circumstances that prevent them from residing on campus may petition for possible relief from this requirement.
