Licking County Scholars

Outstanding seniors from Licking County High Schools may apply to take a course for college credit while still enrolled as a student at their high school.  The course for which the student enrolls will be contingent upon space availability and the consent of the instructor.  The courses will be populated by Denison's degree-seeking students and should be transferable to other institutions or applied toward a Denison degree.  In 2009-2010 the fee will be $223 per credit hour for a regular four credit course taken as a Licking County Scholar.
