Honoring Founders Scholars
Indiana University holds all of its students in high esteem, and it takes an added measure of pride in those who demonstrate sustained academic excellence over time.
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. The Honors Convocation is one of the traditional activities that mark Founders Day, the annual celebration of IU’s founding in 1820.
