Should I accept the PBSC Presidential Honors College Scholarship?
Hey, I got selected for the Presidential Honors College Scholarship at Palm Beach State, and I’m trying to figure out if I should accept it or wait to see if I get the Green & Gold one.
The Presidential one covers tuition, fees, and books (up to 12 credits per semester), but the requirements are: 3.5 GPA requirement, 12 honors credits, 20 co-curricular points, Honors classes + extra stuff for the program.
The Green & Gold is: 3.2 GPA requirement. About half the money. No honors program requirements
My main worry is honestly the honors classes. I don’t really know how much harder they are or if they’re just more work/writing. I’m trying to keep my GPA solid since I want to transfer later.
If anyone’s been in PBSC Honors: Are the honors classes actually hard or just more workload? Is the program worth it? Did it feel overwhelming at all with GPA + requirements? Would you take the Presidential again or go with a simpler scholarship?
Just trying to make the right decision before I accept anything. Appreciate any advice.
