Late Grades

Any student with changes to his/her grade(s) (completion of incompletes, improved grades) after January 30th, should review the above criteria to determine if he/she now qualifies for either award. Any student who believes he/she does now meet the criteria based on grade change(s) may submit a request for consideration for one of the Scholars Day awards.

Students with late grades should send a message to the Honors Program asking to be considered for a New England Scholar or a Babbidge Scholar award.  The email request must include the student's name and ID#. The Honors Program will review all requests and notify students of their award status. As appropriate, students' names will be posted on the website for approved requests.
