The Hutton Junior Scholars Award (formally the Burnett Masters Junior Scholars Award) is a one-time non-renewable scholarship awarded to full-time Hutton Honors College undergraduates who are in their third year at IU.

Eligibility

Hutton Honors College students who were not awarded a Hutton Honors College scholarship as incoming freshmen or a full-ride scholarship from IU (including the Cox Scholarship, Wells Scholarship, or Kelley Scholarship).

Preference is given to applicants with high financial need. Applicants are encouraged to have a current year FAFSA on file to demonstrate that their federal financial need is greater than zero.

  • Login to the IU Scholarships task on One.IU
  • Complete the General Scholarship Application
  • Then select "Other Recommended Opportunities" to upload the additional, required essay

Important Dates

Applications will be accepted until midnight on December 1st.

Applicants selected to receive a Hutton Junior Scholars Award will receive a notification to their IU email account no later than December 15th.

Award amounts typically range between $1,000 - $3,000 and will be applied to spring semester accounts.

Important information for funding and scholarship applicants

If you filed the FAFSA and are receiving financial aid (for example: Direct Loans, Pell Promise grants, 21st Century Scholars Covenant), and you receive one of the Hutton Honors College's grants or scholarships, your award from the Hutton Honors College may not be paid-out in the form of cash funds (i.e., as money paid into your Bursar account), but instead, may be used by IU's Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) to reduce your student/parent loan burden or reduce your federal/state grant by the amount awarded to you by the HHC.

 To learn how HHC funding may impact your financial aid, please contact OSFA at scu@iu.edu. Also, please refer to OSFA for information regarding study abroad and financial aid.
