Illinois State University's annual University Scholarship Awards Ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 8, in the Bone Student Center Brown Ballroom.
Families, faculty, administrators and others give public recognition to students who were selected on a University-wide basis for their exemplary academic achievements. Students to be honored are Presidential Scholars, Rose Scholars, Watkins Scholars, University Scholars, MJ Scholars, Deans' Scholars, Community College Transfer Scholars, Honors First-Year Scholars, National Scholars and Bone Scholars.
