IUIN-Senior Academy Scholarship for Returning Students

IU Indianapolis incoming part or full-time returning or transfer students pursuing their first undergraduate degree, who meet regular admission requirements and have a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA from previous college credits, are encouraged to apply.

In making its selection decision, the scholarship committee will be considering academic achievements, level of financial need, and evidence of thoughtful reflection on past community service.

  • The Senior Academy at IU Indianapolis has established a scholarship program designed to help returning students finish their education. This scholarship helps fund tuition and books for students who, in the past, were out of college for at least three years after beginning a degree, but did not finish, and are now planning to re-enroll, or who are currently re-enrolled, to complete their first undergraduate degree. Additionally, the awardee will be invited to a luncheon to be acknowledged as the year’s scholar and will receive a separate invitation from the Senior Academy at the time of the scholarship being offered.
