Honorary title (academic)
Imagine you did something really good in school, like getting all A’s on your report card or winning a big science fair. You might imagine the teachers would want to give you a special prize or award, right?
Well, in college or university, there are some grown-ups who do really good things, too. They might be really smart and study science or arts or math, or maybe they help a lot of people with their work. And when they do these amazing things, sometimes the college or university gives them a special prize, too.
This prize is called an honorary title. Honorary means special and important, but it’s not something you earn by doing homework or taking tests. Instead, it’s a way to say “wow, you did something really great and we want to recognize you for it.”
The honorary title might be something like “Doctor” or “Professor,” which are titles that usually mean someone has studied a lot and has a degree. But with honorary titles, the person is given the special title even if they didn’t study for it.
It’s kind of like a special medal you get for doing something good, even if you didn’t win a race or play on a sports team. The honorary title is a way to show respect and appreciation for someone who has done something great, just like you would get a special prize in school for your good work.
