Honors and Prizes

Students who maintain a 3.2 average in major and major-related subjects receive their BA with honors in this major. Five prizes, the Chairman's Award, the John C. Makris Award, the Helix Prize, the Founder's Prize, and the Hydra Prize, are awarded each year for outstanding academic and research performance to graduating seniors. The actual award for the Founder's Prize is a portrait of Benjamin Franklin, Penn's founder, printed by the US Treasury.

The distinction of Dean's Scholar is the highest awarded by the College of Arts and Sciences.
