<p>This is also true for gemstone and honors. They actually have a committee that meets to decide which Gemstone candidates will be selected for Honors.</p>
<p>Scholars is a 2 yr program, the most important aspect to realize out of their program is you are mandated to do an internship, if you opt not to or fail to get an internship you are required to submit a 25 page term paper for the citation of SCHOLARS. Our DS is in Scholars and it really would not be a make or break for him if he did not get the citation since on graduation day he will be commissioned into the USAF. That being stated had he not had the AF option it would have made a huge difference in his major. He is Govt and Politics, the internship that he is doing on Capitol Hill for a Senator is opening doors and would be a great asset for applying to grad school.</p>
<p>Look at the end game…graduation, the reality is Honors, Gemstone and Scholars will open doors that your classmates will not have.</p>
