About Our Program

Hudson & Holland Scholars Program has re-evaluated and updated our mission and core values as we strive to serve the best and brightest students on the Indiana University Bloomington campus.

The reimagined mission of this prestigious scholarship program is to enhance inclusive excellence at Indiana University through the recruitment, support, and holistic development of high-achieving students from underrepresented groups, including limited income students, first-generation college students, and rural students.

The Hudson & Holland Scholars Program is dedicated not only to the academic success of our Scholars but also to supporting their social, emotional, and mental well-being of our students. Our office provides a variety of support services to address the holistic needs of our scholars throughout their tenure at IU. Hudson & Holland Scholars are some of the most scholastically successful students at IU, and their presence and contributions deeply enrich the campus learning environment.

Hudson Hollands new motto, HHSP S.U.C.C.E.E.D.s is reflected in the following values:

• Scholarship
  • Our scholars pursue elevated academic success through engaging in active learning in and outside the classroom, maintaining a 3.0 GPA, and applying their unique skills and talents to their academic pursuits.
