BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Big Ten Conference office announced the 2016-17 Distinguished Scholars today, with Indiana Football landing redshirt wide receiver Chris Gajcak and redshirt junior offensive lineman Wes Martin on the list.Â
Â
The Distinguished Scholar award is given to those who recorded at least a 3.7 GPA or higher during the 2016-17 school year. The student must be a letterwinner in the second year at the institution.
Â
Big Ten Faculty Representatives established the Distinguished Scholar Award in 2008 to supplement the Academic All-Big Ten program. Similar to the Academic All-Big Ten honor, Distinguished Scholar Award recipients must be letter winners in at least their second academic year at their institution. However, the Distinguished Scholar Award encompasses only students with a minimum GPA of 3.7 or higher for the previous academic year, excluding summer school. The Academic All-Big Ten threshold is a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher for a student's academic career.
