Elmhurst College Honors Program offers Swords Scholars Grants to Program participants.

Elmhurst College was awarded NCUR/Lancy Grants for two consecutive years.
These grants to encourage undergraduate scholarly and creative activity were under the direction of Prof. Dianne Chambers (English) and Prof. Jon Johnson (Mathematics). The original grant was one of only 4 awarded out of more than 40 proposals submitted. These grants served as an important start to the growing College support for research involving student-faculty collaboration and leading to nine (9) presentations at NCUR 2002 and NCUR 2003.
