Diversity Initiatives and Investments

Balfour Scholars: Research project, college readiness and success program, and precollege academy all designed to empower hyperraced students to pursue and complete a post-secondary academic program.

  • Balfour Pre-College Academy: Supported by a grant from the Lloyd G. Balfour Foundation, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee, the Balfour Scholars Program (BSP) is a free program for high school juniors designed to help cultivate student academic and career development as well as minimize misperceptions about affordability, unfamiliarity with higher education, and difficulties with cultural adjustment that prevent students from successfully matriculating and graduating from college.
  • Balfour Scholars Program: Ongoing support for Scholars enrolled at Indiana University. BSP hosts workshops, academic and social events, and a student organization to keep Scholars engaged with the institution from their first year in college to their graduation.
  • Research project: Data collection, analysis, and reporting on the high school to college transition for hyperraced students. Research results disseminated mainly through campus and conference presentations.

Encourages hyperraced women to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The initiative involves 50 graduate, undergraduate, and high school students in a year-long program. Includes talks from STEM professionals, outreach activities that engage high school students in the real-world applicability of STEM skills, and job shadowing around Bloomington, Indiana.
