Application Procedure
Read and follow these instructions carefully.
Application forms for all grants are available by downloading them
from each
grant page as Adobe Acrobat PDF files optimized with typeable
fields,
and should be returned to the Hutton Honors College, 811 E. Seventh
Street, Room 210E, by the appropriate deadline. Late applications
negatively affect the chance of obtaining a grant. Each applicant must obtain
the consent of a Bloomington faculty member to serve as a sponsor for his/her
project. Recommendation forms should be completed and returned in time to
meet the printed deadline. It is the applicant's responsibility to get the
recommendation form to the faculty member and to see that it reaches the Hutton Honors
College on time. No application will be reviewed until it is complete.
All applicants must attach an unofficial IUB transcript to their application. From your OneStart account, print one copy of your transcript as a duplex print-out. If your cumulative GPA is below 3.40, then you must also provide a worksheet
calculating your major GPA (exclude current courses).
All applicants must also fill out an Office of Student Financial Aid Form available here,
and attach the completed form as the last page of their application. Note: Skip the first two lines in Section 2 and all of Section 3.
Applicants whose activities include travel from campus must also complete and attach either a
domestic or foreign travel waiver to their
application.(HIEP applicants must fill out the HIEP versions of both the OSFA and foreign travel waiver forms.)

Criteria For Selection
The awarding of grants will be based on recommendations of the Undergraduate
Grant Program Committee whose membership consists of Hutton Honors
College faculty
members from various departments and schools on the Bloomington campus. The
following general criteria are used in evaluation: 1) Promise of a productive
learning experience as indicated by intellectual capacity reflected in grades
and faculty opinions, motivation, and the specific background and academic
preparation for the award sought; 2) Significance of the activity in developing
the student's present capabilities and future promise; 3) Feasibility, clarity,
and quality of the proposal; and 4) Equitable distribution of grants among
departments and programs.
Summary/Evaluation Of Grants
After the grant-funded activities conclude, each
student who has been awarded a grant is required to submit a written summary and
evaluation of his/her experience. Students awarded a
research or creative activity grant are required
to submit an evaluation of their research or creative
experience. We expect recipients of internship awards to evaluate
those activities. HIEP awardees must describe a significant aspect of
their journeys.
Students who do
not supply the Hutton Honors College with written copies of these documents will
be ineligible to receive additional funding from the Hutton Honors College.
We also reserve the right to ask those students who do not submit these
reports to repay their grant funds. Failure
to supply the Hutton Honors College with copies of these documents may also
hinder the faculty sponsor and department from future participation in
the Hutton Honors
College Undergraduate Grant Program. These reports are due by the
deadline of the grant period that immediately follows the funded
activities.
Notification
Normally, applicants will be notified within six weeks of the application
deadline.
Please Note
If you are packaged with need-based federal financial aid (for example, Stafford loans, Pell grants), and you receive
one of the Hutton Honors College's grants, awards, scholarships, or prizes, 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 loan burden. If your federal financial aid is
sufficiently large, i.e., is close to or already meets your cost of attendance at Indiana University, you must contact
OSFA (e-mail: blfinaid@indiana.edu) to learn how your HIEP grant may impact your aid and to determine whether your cost of attendance budget
can be adjusted accordingly.
