Scholarship available to seventh, eighth grade students

Posted

Hoosier students completing eighth grade must sign up for the 21st Century Scholarship program by June 30.

The scholarship provides eligible students up to four years of undergraduate tuition at public colleges or universities in Indiana. As college tuition rises, this program is an opportunity for many young Hoosiers to afford a college education and achieve their career goals.

Families must meet certain income eligibility guidelines and requirements to qualify for the scholarship. Academically, scholars must also earn an overall high school grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale and graduate with at least a Core 40 diploma.

Those heading into seventh and eighth grade can apply now, but once in high school, students are no longer eligible to apply. Certain exceptions are made for students in foster care.
