Awards, Recognition, and Scholarships
Scholarships available through the Kelley School of Business are based on academic achievement and/or financial need. Eligible candidates must be admitted students in the Kelley School of Business. Scholarship opportunities and applications can be found on the Kelley Office of Academic and Professional Development website.
Academic Distinction
Academic distinction for excellence in scholarship is awarded at Commencement to a limited number of students graduating with the Bachelor of Science in Business degree. The number of students so honored will not exceed 10 percent of the graduating class in the school for that year.
Students whose grade point averages are in the highest 1 percent and who complete at least 60 credit hours at Indiana University graduate with "highest distinction." Those whose grade point averages are in the next highest 4 percent and who complete at least 60 credit hours at Indiana University graduate "with high distinction"; and the remaining 5 percent who complete at least 60 credit hours at Indiana University will graduate "with distinction."
The grade point averages necessary to achieve these levels of distinction vary depending on class statistics. Graduates receiving these honors have them so noted on their diplomas and in the Commencement program and are eligible to wear cream and crimson fourragères at Commencement.
Dean's Honor ListAll undergraduate students in the Kelley School of Business who are taking at least 6 credit hours during a fall or spring semester and who have a semester grade point average of 3.5 or higher are placed on the Dean's Honor List. These honor students receive letters from the dean recognizing their meritorious efforts.
