The Ernie Pyle Scholars program has opened countless doors for me in and out of the classroom.

How to apply

The first step is to apply for admission to Indiana University by Nov. 1 and indicate your interest in a Media School major.

Once admitted, top students will be invited to complete IU’s Selective Scholarship Application. In previous years, students invited to complete the SSA have had GPAs of 3.6 or higher.

Once you complete your SSA, you will be considered for admission to one of The Media School’s honors programs.

Petitions

If you were not invited to complete the SSA but believe you would be a strong candidate for a cohort honors program, you may request to submit a petition for consideration. The deadline is Jan. 10.
