Tau Sigma National Honor Society

Tau Sigma is an academic honor society designed specifically to "recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students."  

The Beta Sigma Chapter at UM-Dearborn, founded in 2009, was the first chapter to be organized in the state of Michigan.

To be eligible for Tau Sigma transfer students must have been full time (at least 12 credit hours) in Winter, Summer, or Fall semesters and have a 3.50 GPA or higher in their first semester. They must also have transferred at least 24 credit hours to UM-Dearborn. Eligible students are automatically involved by the national office to join each January with the induction ceremony held each spring.

Another year, another top scholarship for a UM-Dearborn transfer student. Salam Smidi—a transfer student from Henry Ford College—earned the top Tau Sigma National Honor Society scholarship for 2017. This marks the eighth consecutive year a UM-Dearborn student has received the honor.
