Commonwealth Honors Academy-Juniors Only 

It is time again for Murray State University’s Commonwealth Honors Academy, and this year, we celebrate 20 years! (We tried to celebrate 20 years last summer, but COVID prevented us from doing so. So, we try again). The 2021 Academy will be held June 5 to June 26, 2021. The Academy brings together 1120 rising high school seniors from Kentucky and the surrounding region for three weeks for an exciting challenging academic enrichment program. As a reminder, upon the completion of the academy, students will: 

-Receive six (6) hours of honors-level university studies credit; 
-Have the opportunity to take an additional six hours of tuition-free university courses at Murray State University during their senior year; and 
-Be awarded a four-year $2,000 renewable housing scholarship to attend Murray State University 

Please help the CHA Leadership Team in identifying juniors who might be qualified for this selective program. To qualify for the academy, students must have 

-Completed the junior year of high school 
-A composite ACT of approximately 25 (or equivalent on the SAT, PSAT, or ACT ASPIRE), and a 3-5 GPA on the 4-0 scale.
-Other credentials, such as community involvement, class rank, and teacher other credentials, such as community involvement, class rank, and teacher recommendations, that are taken into consideration in the selection process.

We also would like to ask you to encourage potential CHA applications to take the ACT no later than December 2020 to qualify for the Academy.
