OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

FOR HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS

(Guests who have better photos from the reception are welcome to send them to aajones@iupui.edu for inclusion on the website.)

Since 1993, the Alpha Association of Indiana Phi Beta Kappa has offered the Outstanding Academic Achievement Award for High School Juniors. Recipients are the outstanding junior student chosen by each Marion County and other sponsored high schools. Each recipient will receive a letter of congratulations in May. In the fall, this year’s award winners will be invited to a reception in their honor hosted by Alpha Association at which they will be presented with a certificate of recognition and a gift certificate for $100 to a local bookstore. The students will be invited to bring a school guidance counselor or an instructor to the reception in addition to their parents. Alpha Association developed the criteria for the award to reflect criteria similar to that used at the collegiate level for Phi Beta Kappa selection.

High schools were contacted in March, 2012, and are requested to submit their candidates by April 23, 2012 to rvermette@iupui.edu or aajones@iupui.edu.

The 2012 reception will be held September 20, 2012. All Phi Beta Kappa alumni are welcome to attend, and members of the Alpha Association are strongly encouraged to attend these events.

The 2011 recipients were announced at the May 2011 annual meeting and a reception was held in their honor on Sept. 20, 2011, at the Woodstock Club.

Alpha Association of Indiana Phi Beta Kappa seeks to recognize for academic and intellectual achievement one outstanding student in the junior class of each Marion County secondary school, including accredited IPS, surrounding township, and private and parochial institutions.

CRITERIA FOR SELECTION:

Selected students

- demonstrate intellectual integrity and accomplishment in a broad range of academic disciplines

- demonstrate a commitment to the liberal arts and sciences (humanities, social sciences, mathematical, and natural sciences)

- must be in the top 10% of their class, usually with a 3.5 or higher cumulative GPA

- must be embarked upon an in-depth college preparation program (normally Indiana Core 40, often with Academic Honors or the International Baccalaureate).
