Each year, Lake Forest Graduate School designates the top 5% of its graduating class with the Hotchkiss Scholar honor.

Hotchkiss Scholars are announced at graduation because the final ranking of the graduating class is not known until after final exams are graded and the final grade point average (GPA) for each graduating student is calculated. Prior to the beginning of the graduation ceremony, the new Hotchkiss Scholars are presented with the Hotchkiss Scholars medallion, which is worn during the ceremony. The new scholars are also announced from the podium during the ceremony. ,

Lake Forest Graduate School of Management hosts an annual recognition dinner to honor the Hotchkiss Scholars. This dinner is usually scheduled for October or November and typically held at the Lake Forest campus. All prior Hotchkiss Scholars are invited to attend. The guest of honor is Dr. Eugene Hotchkiss, III, for whom the scholarship is named. This dinner features a cocktail reception, welcoming speech, buffet dinner, featured presentation or panel discussion, and introduction of the new class of Hotchkiss Scholars. The new scholars receive a certificate of recognition and a memento marking the occasion.
