Jones Scholar Award

The Jones Scholar Award is an academic honor conferred by the faculty on students whose cumulative GPA at the time of graduation is in the top 10% of their graduating class. Each graduate of Rice Business completes a rigorous set of courses, develops a robust complement of skills and knowledge, and refines their capabilities in leadership, critical thinking and problem solving. The Jones Scholars comprise a group of students who have performed exceedingly well – with high distinction – in completing a challenging curriculum.

Note: Due to the compressed timeline of the end of the semester, final grades were not available to present the recipient names at Investiture.

Congratulations to those from the Class of 2024 listed below.
