Indiana University holds all of its students in high esteem, but it
takes an added measure of pride in those who demonstrate sustained
academic excellence over time. Maintaining a high level of achievement
in the classroom and in research represents the kind of dedication,
diligence, and determination that are worthy of special commendation. We
confer upon our most academically distinguished undergraduates the
designation of Founders Scholar, and we honor them at an annual event,
the IU Bloomington Honors Convocation.
