Bone Scholars
The AFNI Honor Roll is a distinction for student-athletes that have earned a 3.0 or greater GPA during the spring or fall semesters. Honors are also given to teams that achieve the highest GPA over the course of a semester. In a ceremony held during half time of a men's home basketball game, the honor roll athletes and teams are brought down to center court to be announced. Illinois State has consistently managed to place nearly half of its student-athlete population on the honor roll. Our athletes continually excel in both athletic and academic pursuits.
