Indiana College Scholarships
If you live in Indiana, you are probably the average American student in search of every bit of financial assistance you can possibly find to pay for your education. College can be expensive, and every penny you can earn will make life easier for you. Did you know that there were Indiana scholarships available to you especially for being a state resident and attending a school within the state?
The Twenty-first Century Scholars Program offers assistance to individuals who prepare for college early, offering students in 7th and 8th grades the chance to commit to a challenging high school curriculum, with the goal of achieving academic success. This is rewarded with a scholarship that covers a four-year tuition at an Indiana state college or university.
The Hoosier Scholarship is also merit-based, offered to incoming freshmen in amounts of $500 for enrollment in a state college or university. In order to diversify the industry, as well as to meet the needs of the community, the Minority Teacher/Special Education Scholarship is awarded to students who are considered to be a minority and are studying to work in fields such as Special Education, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy. Scholarship monies are offered directly in exchange for an agreement to work in the Indiana public school systems or at a vocational or rehab facility in the state.
Other specialty Indiana scholarships include offerings for tuition assistance for those in the National Guard and the Nursing Scholarship Fund to assist in increasing the number of qualified professionals within the state.

Paying for school is not easy, but we are here to help. OEDb's student finance section will help you find the money you need to pay your tuition and other college expenses. We cover scholarships, college grants, and student loans. Scholarships and grants are both forms of "free money", meaning they don't need to be paid back. Scholarships are typically awarded by businesses or individuals, with the money being earmarked specifically for tuition. They can be awarded based on a student's location or by religious affiliation, such as Catholicism or Islam. Grants are typically awarded by governments or non-profit organizations and the money often can be applied to several different expenses a student may incur, not solely tuition. They can be awarded based on location or ethnicity, for instance African American or Hispanic. Loans are not considered "free money", because unlike scholarships and grants, they do need to be paid back after graduation. Common federal loans include Perkins and Stafford. Loans are also available by location.
