State of Indiana Grants - There are several different grants available to students.
The Indiana Higher Education Grant Program, designed to provide access for Hoosier students to attend eligible postsecondary institutions, receives its funding through appropriations made by the Indiana General Assembly. The grants, targeted to tuition and regularly assessed fees, are need-based and do not require repayment. Due to variations in appropriations, the number of filers and the need of the filer base, the dollar value of state grants will vary from year to year.
The Higher Education Grant includes both the Higher Education Award and the Freedom of Choice Award.
HOOSIER SCHOLAR AWARD - The Hoosier Scholar Award is a $500 non-renewable award. The funds are disbursed the first semester of the freshman year in college. The Award is based on academic merit and may be used for any educational expense. The high school guidance counselor staff is responsible for selecting the Hoosier Scholars each year. Depending upon the size of the high school, one to three scholars are selected. The following general requirements apply to the Hoosier Scholar Award program, but additional selection criteria and applications may be put in place by the high school guidance staff.
