Spartans Earn Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Designation


East Lansing, Mich. – The Big Ten Conference announced Monday its list of 2023-24 Big Ten Distinguished Scholars.  The 2023-24 class of Distinguished Scholar Award recipients includes 132 overall honorees from Michigan State,  44 of them who maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA during the eligibility period.   
 
Big Ten Faculty Representatives established the Distinguished Scholar Award in 2008 to supplement the Academic All-Big Ten program. Distinguished Scholar Award recipients must have earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition in the previous academic year, must have been enrolled full time at the institution for the entire previous academic year (two semesters or three quarters) and earned a minimum GPA of 3.70 or better during the previous academic year, excluding any summer grades. The Academic All-Big Ten threshold is a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for a student’s academic career.
