Welcome to the
Alma, a chemistry major who has minors in biology and honors, moved to the U.S. from Mexico when her younger sister, Sandra, was diagnosed with glaucoma at a young age. Sandra, who is now a freshman chemistry major at NKU, had multiple surgeries on both of her eyes over the years. Those surgeries led to a financial burden that caused Alma’s parents to lose their home last year—right in the middle of Alma’s toughest semester on campus.
Parker Kain found his home in the Honors College at NKU. “The Honors College was a way for me to step out of my usual comfort areas and explore topics I wouldn’t get to talk about in other classes.”
In fact, Parker stepped out of his comfort zone during his sophomore year when he took a class that partnered with local businesses.
Nationally competitive scholarships are funded by sources independent of NKU. Criteria for the scholarships vary, but the newly created Office of Nationally Competitive Scholarships and Opportunities will host a series of workshops this fall to provide more information about the many scholarship opportunities for students.
The Institute for Student Research & Creative Activity (ISRCA) engages, supports, enhances and acknowledges the involvement of students and their faculty mentors in research, scholarship and creative activities throughout campus. ISRCA assists in growing the number and breadth of research, scholarship and creative activity opportunities for all NKU students.
