Find scholarships at IU
Before you begin your search
You may be eligible for different types of scholarship opportunities based on information such as your student status, residency status, and financial need. This means that some scholarships may require you to be a new student or returning student, be from Indiana or from out-of-state or international, or display financial need by having a completed FAFSA on file. Review the information below to learn more before you begin your search.
First-year applicants who submit their complete application for admission before the November 1 early action (non-binding) deadline will be considered for IU academic scholarships. There is no additional application for these scholarships.
We recommend filing your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible. Many scholarships and other forms of financial aid require students to have a FAFSA on file.
All incoming students should submit their IU Scholarships Application by February 1. Then complete any additional applications listed under "Other Recommended Opportunities".
All incoming student scholarship selections are finalized by March 15. Only scholarship recipients will be notified. Following March 15, students should use their Financial Aid Summary to make enrollment decisions.
Complete the IU Scholarships Application each year to search for additional scholarship opportunities. The IU Scholarships Application opens to currently enrolled students at IU Bloomington beginning in September—so make sure to check in early and check back often as scholarship opportunities are added throughout the academic year.
Additional scholarship opportunities may be available at the school and departmental level at IU Bloomington. Requirements and deadlines for these scholarships vary.
