Hoosier Scholar Community

Welcome to the Hoosier Scholar Community!

Being a Hoosier Scholar means much more than receiving money. As members of the Hoosier Scholar Community, our scholars engage in a wealth of opportunities, both inside and outside the classroom, that enhance their college experience in distinctive ways. The recipients of these scholarships aren't just a group of individuals; they form a genuine and supportive community.

From participating in exclusive scholar events to actively engaging in community service and offering guidance to prospective Hoosiers, our Hoosier Scholars passionately explore their interests while inspiring others to uncover their own.

Being a scholar has enabled me to take advantage of the many amazing opportunities IU has to offer. It is more than receiving financial aid. It has allowed me to join a community of passionate individuals.
