Petition for Hutton Honors

<p>Do you know anyone who sucessfully petitioned into Hutton Honors College?</p>

<p>Since I need a 3.0 to keep my scholarship and a 3.0 to stay in Kelley it seems to makes sense to apply for Honors and live/work with people who are more studious. Without the honors scholarship I'd need a 3.0 to stay in the Honors program. Notice a pattern?</p>

<p>Any input about how hard the Honors courses are and how the Honors program office looks at petitions from people who didn' t get invited? How many people are in IU Honors/year?</p>

<p>Here's a website that gives the info on who gets into Hutton without petitioning, plus how petitions are reviewed. I don't know anyone who petitioned to get in. </p>

<p>Note that if you are already at IU you will need a 3.6 GPA to get in, which is why my son with his 3.52 GPA is not (yet) eligible to apply. You then need to maintain a 3.4 GPA to maintain a scholarship, a 3.0 GPA to stay in the program, and a 3.5 GPA (and take a certain number of honors courses) if you want the "honors" designation to appear on your diploma.</p>

<p>Strangely enough, that means you could have a 3.5 GPA all the way through school, but never qualify to even get into the program</p>

<p>Thanks Calcruzer. I'm going to try. If they say "No", I've only lost the price of a stamp.</p>

<p>I'm going to be petitioning as well. Let me know how the process goes for you.</p>

<p>If you got a Selective Scholarship Application, does that mean that you were asked to apply to the Hutton Honors Program? It said on the website that the application serves as a scholarship application as well as the application for the program but I'm not sure.</p>

<p>naturefreak, that is what it means.</p>

<p>sorry, hit submit prematurely. On my daughter's application, or on the letter that came with it, it says specifically that it will be used for Hutton and for certain merit scholarships.</p>

<p>I was offered to apply for the Hutton Honors College Scholarship. Does anyone know how much money they grant per year? Does it matter if you are out-of-state? Thanks.</p>
