The Hoosier Scholar Experience

Hoosier Scholars are invited to exclusive opportunities throughout the year. Our events give you the ability to enhance your experience at IU, and they follow these six engagement themes:

  • Arts & Humanities: Hoosier Scholars experience the plethora of art and humanities events that IU offers.
  • Academic Excellence: Hoosier Scholars strengthen their academic success, build confidence in their learning journey, and access resources that support their educational goals.
  • Community & Belonging: Hoosier Scholars build meaningful relationships and strengthen their networks to foster a supportive and collaborative community.
  • Giving Back: Hoosier Scholars recognize the importance of giving back to their community through unique volunteer opportunities.
  • Professional Development & Life Skills: Hoosier Scholars prepare for their future professional lives through career development opportunities.
  • Traditions & Spirit: Hoosier Scholars celebrate their IU pride by supporting IU traditions like Homecoming.
