My niece is actually getting paid monthly in her honors program. Everything else is also covered. This, despite being eligible for GI Bill through her dad. As for Berkeley, I didn't imagine they have an honors college. In my mind, it's most associated with state schools and I've definitely seen students go from Honors program at state school to Ivy Leagues for grad school. Perhaps some of them are a scam. Just not the ones that I've seen.
