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. 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.

Indiana University confers upon our most academically distinguished IU Bloomington undergraduates the designation of Founders Scholar, and they will be honored at this annual event, the IUB Honors Convocation. The Honors Convocation is a formal ceremony, rich in Indiana University tradition and academic protocol.
