The Ball State University Foundation presents the Top 100 Student Awards. This award recognizes 100 outstanding junior and senior undergraduates at Ball State who represent Beneficence both in and out of the classroom. This is the second year of the program, and there were close to 200 applications from all academic colleges. All applications were scored by a group of Ball State alumni from around the country.

We look forward to recognizing all Top 100 Student Award recipients from 3–4 p.m. during One Ball State Day on April 5, 2023. A casual reception and award pick-up will occur during the event.
