I live in Indiana and I'm trying to find local scholarships that I might be eligible for. Can anyone recommend scholarships in Indiana that are open to high school juniors or seniors? I'm interested in both merit-based and need-based scholarships if possible. If anyone has tips on where to look or websites that have good resources for finding these scholarships, that would be great too! Thanks!
Sure, I'd be happy to help you find some Indiana-based scholarships.
1. First up is the Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship. This is a competitive scholarship for high school and college students interested in becoming educators. The scholarship provides up to $10,000 per year of college for up to four years. To qualify, you must agree to teach in Indiana for five years after graduation.
2. The Mitch Daniels Early Graduation Scholarship is also a great one. It’s a one-time $4,000 scholarship that can be applied to tuition and fees at any participating public or private Indiana college, university, or proprietary institution. It’s open to students who graduate at least one year early from any public or private Indiana high school.
3. The Indiana Engineering Scholarships awards two scholarships annually, each in the amount of $1,000. Preference is given to those who demonstrate financial need. Eligible candidates are Indiana residents who are graduating high school seniors or current undergraduate students enrolled in a civil engineering or other acceptable engineering curriculum.
4. ScholarTrack is the one-stop shop for Hoosiers’ state financial aid needs, including the 21st Century Scholarship, the Next Level Jobs Workforce Ready Grant, and more! It's a fantastic site to look up scholarships and grants specific for Indiana students.
5. You can also check out Appily, they have a database that allows you to sort and filter scholarships by a number of factors, including state.
There are plenty of other scholarships available in Indiana, so don't limit yourself to these ones. Your high school's guidance office, your local library, the financial aid office of the college you're planning to attend, and online search platforms could all be good resources for finding these opportunities. Good luck!
