The Kuyper Honors Program
The Kuyper Honors Program is a rigorous honors
program designed to help students explore their
calling to Christian Scholarship in service to Christ
and their communities. We will challenge them to
engage in active public scholarship while they are
still students, seeking to have a real-world impact
through their studies, and we hope to equip them
as life-long learners, ready to stand firm in an age
marked by uncertainty.
