The mission of the Hudson & Holland Scholars Program (HHSP) is to recruit, retain, and prepare students with outstanding records of academic achievement, strong leadership experience, and a commitment to social justice to be future leaders of tomorrow.

Program design and implementation are executed with the express goal to ensure scholars take full advantage of opportunities provided, in order to better prepare them for successful careers upon separation from the university, as well as to facilitate a greater desire and passion for social consciousness and societal contribution. The Hudson & Holland Scholars Program further serves as an integral vein of Indiana University’s efforts to foster benefits of educational diversity by assuring the obtainment of a critical mass of students from underrepresented minority backgrounds with a history of discrimination. Positive consideration for admission is given to these students and students whose presence will enhance the learning environment at Indiana University-Bloomington.
