In addition to scholarships open to all ODU students, Perry Honors College students are eligible for additional awards.

Funded by Patricia and Douglas Perry to honor the major contributions of former President John Broderick and First Lady Kate Broderick to Old Dominion University and the Commonwealth, the Broderick Scholarship Program provides opportunity scholarships to help rising sophomores and juniors pursue their educational interests while making a difference in the world. Transfer students and seniors may apply provided they have at least two semesters (may include summers) remaining at Old Dominion at the time of the award to allow sufficient time to plan and execute their proposed experience. Awards will be disbursed (½ in the fall, ½ in the spring) starting in September.
 
Working with a faculty mentor and the Perry Honors College, applicants will design and pursue a learning experience that integrates the three pillars of an honors education: research, civic engagement, and leadership. Tied to each student's academic pursuits, this learning experience typically includes such activities as cultural exchanges, internships, shadowing, research projects, study abroad, and other experiential learning opportunities.
 
The Honors Scholarship Committee will review the applications, conduct personal interviews, and forward recommendations for review and final selection.
