How to Apply

Admissions for students entering IUB in August 2025

Students who are successful in the Hutton Honors College are excited about ideas, eager to try new things, and keenly motivated for broad, interdisciplinary study. Our students come from all across campus--be they Accounting majors or Political Science specialists, future physicians or aspiring opera performers, they are united by their love of study and their enthusiasm for learning new things.

 

 

 The Hutton Honors College is highly selective, accepting less than 10% of each entering class.

Admission to the Hutton Hutton Honors College (HHC) is by application only.

Students who indicate interest in the HHC on the IU portion of the Common Application (and all who apply via ApplyIU) will be given access to the Admissions Application. Selection criteria include, but are not limited to, high-school curriculum and GPA, test scores (if applicable), leadership experience, extracurricular activities, essays, program of study, and aptitude for interdisciplinary learning. 

To apply: Domestic students must submit a completed IU Bloomington application by November 1 and, for priority review, submit their Hutton Honors College application by November 15. Their absolute, final deadline for submitting an HHC application is January 1, 2025. If you have submitted a complete application to IU and indicated interest in the Hutton Honors College, you should be able to access the Hutton application via the IU Portal. 

International Students (including US citizens living abroad) must submit a completed IU Bloomington application by February 1, 2025 and their HHC application by February 15, 2025.  

Successful applicants will be notified of their admission to the Hutton Honors College starting in late February

Scholarship opportunities

A small number of Hutton Honors College students are named Hutton Honors Scholars and receive a renewable scholarship. Hutton Honors Scholars are required to complete the Hutton Honors Notation and encouraged to live in a Honors Residential Community. HHC Scholars have priority for honors seminars, Notation gateway courses, and advising appointments.

Hutton Honors Scholar awards are limited in number and extremely selective. They are awarded on the basis of academic achievements and potential for success in a highly interdisciplinary curriculum as demonstrated through admission application materials.

The Hutton Honors College also awards need-based financial aid to qualified students. Continuing students may be eligible to apply for additional scholarship opportunities. For more information, see Scholarships and Grants & Awards.

Evaluators consider all factors of an application, with greatest emphasis placed on grades earned in academic courses; performance in honors, dual-credit, International Baccalaureate, and Advanced Placement courses; extracurricular activities; other achievements.

Experience a day as a Hutton Honors Student

When you are admitted to the Hutton Honors College, you are invited to spend a day with a Hutton student to get an intimate look into life at IU. Get a look into classes, tour a residence hall, and learn what it is like to be a college student at Indiana University. 

Please make your request for a visit at least two weeks in advance. If you have questions about the program contact hhcvisit@iu.edu
