The Morton Scholars Program at Dana College is designed to: attract, retain and challenge academically gifted students; help students realize their full intellectual, social and spiritual potential; and enhance their employability and admission to graduate schools.

It offers qualified students the opportunity to have a distinctive educational experience in portions of the General Education Program, in their chosen major area of study, and in co-curricular activities.

The Morton Scholars Program seeks to structure a learning experience in which students are challenged to develop their initiative, independence, and commitment to go beyond what is required. Faculty serve as mentors in the process of discovery.

Students’ research and study are publicly honored. Students interact with other students and faculty in ways that contribute positively to the intellectual, social and spiritual climate of Dana College.

Students who are qualified to participate in the Dana Honors Program are designated “Morton Scholars” in honor of the late Dr. Richard E. Morton, President of Dana College and Trinity Seminary from 1944-1956.

Morton Scholars may register for up to three (3) credit hours per academic year in regularly scheduled courses over the normal limit of 16 credit hours per semester with no additional tuition fees.
