Students who submit all application materials for admission by the November 1 deadline are automatically considered for Automatic Academic Scholarships, with the exception of those applying to the Jacobs School of Music*.  November 1 is the deadline for Automatic Academic Scholarship consideration.  No separate application is required. The SAT score considered is based on the Critical Reading and Math sections only.  The ACT score considered is the combined highest composite score.  These scholarships are renewable for up to four years (eight semesters) of undergraduate study at IU by maintaining a 3.0 cumulative program GPA.  Click here for a complete list of renewal criteria and frequently asked questions for Automatic Academic Scholarships.

*Applicants to the Jacobs School of Music (including the Department of Ballet) will be considered for scholarships based on a combination of academic achievement and talent as demonstrated in the audition and/or interview instead of Automatic Academic Scholarships.
