Supplemental Questions

  1. The Kelley School manages a small body of undergraduate scholarships intended to help ABP participants defray costs associated with their service trips. To be eligible for consideration, students must meet the following criteria:

    • Be accepted to an ABP program in the current academic year.

    • Be currently enrolled on the Bloomington campus.

    • Be eligible to receive additional funding through the IU financial aid office.

    By applying, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

    I am responsible for contacting IU Financial Aid (812-855-6500)) if I have any questions about my eligibility to received new funding. If so, I will explain that I am considering applying for a scholarship and ask what impact, if any, receipt of $300-$2,000 in additional funding could have on my current awards. If I have exceeded my financial aid capacity, I may not be able to receive a scholarship.

    The federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (FERPA), protects the privacy of educational records that the university maintains about me. By submitting this scholarship/funding application, I hereby authorize the Kelley School of Business to access information retained by KSOB and any other office or department of Indiana University regarding my academic progress, status and financial need. I authorize the release of this information and the information contained in my application (or the application itself) to scholarship donors and/or donor representatives for the purpose of verifying my eligibility for the scholarship/funding as well as for selection purposes. By my submission of this application, I authorize Indiana University to publicize my name in connection with any scholarship or funding received.

    I understand that if any application information I provide or is provided on my behalf is false, misleading, or incomplete, I will not be eligible for Alternative Break Program funding and/or scholarships, and any funds awarded to me will be revoked, and I will need to return any amounts already paid to me. I understand if, for any reason, I do not fulfill the Alternative Break Program requirements, I must notify the Associate Director of Scholarships and the award(s) will be revoked.
