Scholars is only for incoming freshman. My oldest was drawn to a particular program and chose to apply to Scholars and was accepted. That scholars advisor was very helpful in career coaching and providing a strong LOR for internships/coops. Later, she applied to honors after having met the transcript and gpa requirement to do so. So she was able to do both.

My youngest was accepted to honors as an incoming freshman and had a great time in FEH. He was also accepted into the LEAP living learning community. He was living with students in many of his classes, but his program was not as involved as the scholars program my oldest was in.

If he is admitted to Columbus campus, but not to honors, he can apply again later.
