Our Mission: To Empower Engaged Students
Gifts made to the college directly benefit dedicated, deserving students engaged in stimulating, one-of-a-kind courses and research within our supportive community. Your investment has both immediate and life-long impact. Here are a few of their voices:
“The Honors College has provided me with so many opportunities for growth including fellowships, attending and presenting at regional and national conferences, taking interesting and engaging courses that encourage me to expand my thinking, and being a part of a true community. Through several changes in my major and my future plans, the Honors College was my constant.” (Jamie, an alumna from the Indianapolis area)
“I can honestly say that the honors curriculum transformed my college career as I shaped, sculpted, and reshaped my perspectives, values, and engagement in the world. I have personally benefited from enriching relationships, both professional and personal, with fellow students and faculty alike. I had ample opportunities and support to expand my horizons, travel and present at conferences, and conduct research through Honors Undergraduate Fellowships. Life truly is all of what you make it. The world is your oyster, and the Honors College can provide you a platform to personal and professional growth unmatched in other settings. Take notice of those Honors College students around you; they will be the leaders of tomorrow.” (Jon, a recent first-generation graduate from southern Indiana)
With recent growth in the number of honors students and the expansion of the Ball Honors House,
we are excited about what opportunities we will have in our future!
This year the Honors College focuses on providing scholarship opportunities for honors students!
The Honors College offers a range of financial support for students that includes tuition scholarships, aid for study abroad opportunities, research funds, immersive project support through the Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry, grants for students to engage in internships and creative projects, and much more. Many of our funds are in honor of individuals and families who helped make the Honors College and our work possible.
