How should I list scholarships and honours college on my consulting CV?

I received a high-GPA scholarship for five semesters. Should I write that as five awards, or name the scholarship once? I also need to list honours college: is it better in brackets after my degree, or as its own bullet under the university?

Ian’s Answer

Which sentence is stronger?

Is this under education? If so, then neither! It should say:

XXX Scholarship for high GPA (5 semesters)

If it's an experience bullet point then it needs to be a full sentence.

If you are familiar with honors college, how do I list it in my CV?

Both work! I depends on the rest of your resume. (Space you have, what else you have under that university for bullet points etc.). It's an asthetic decision made hollistically with the whole resume.
