Celebrating graduate and professional student excellence
Each year, IUPUI honors 50 graduate and professional students who demonstrate excellence beyond the classroom—in areas such as campus leadership, scholarly work, and community engagement. These IUPUI Elite 50 represent the best of the best among IUPUI’s graduate and professional students and capture everything that makes IUPUI exceptional.
Currently enrolled graduate & professional students who are in good standing with the university and are in a degree seeking graduate or professional program.
Applicants will be evaluated based upon their contributions while enrolled at IUPUI as a graduate or professional student including efforts in 1) community engagement and service; 2) campus engagement and service; and 3) research and scholarly work.
A panel of faculty, staff, and students including an ex officio representative of the campus administration will participate in reviewing applications.
Requirements:
From the 50 students selected for recognition as the Elite 50, the top students will be cited as the Premier 10. The overall award winner will receive the Charles R. Bantz Award for Excellence and a $500 scholarship.
Winners will be announced by the end of February and will be honored at the IUPUI Elite 50 Award Banquet.
Do you know a graduate or professional student who has demonstrated excellence inside and outside the classroom? A simple nomination will provide them with instructions to apply for the 2020 IUPUI Elite 50.
The nomination window for 2020 has closed.
