Planning to attend college in Indiana and am on the hunt for state-specific scholarships. What are some good resources or scholarships for students planning to study in Indiana?
Indiana offers a good number of scholarships that are state-specific which should help in reducing college costs.
The "Next Generation Hoosier Educators Scholarship" could be an ideal fit if you're considering a career in teaching: it offers up to $7,500 per year for students who commit to teaching in Indiana for at least five years after graduation.
If you're a high-achieving student, you might want to consider the "Evan Bayh 21st Century Scholars Program", which covers up to full tuition for low-income Indiana residents who maintain a certain GPA and fulfill other requirements.
The "Mitch Daniels Early Graduation Scholarship" offers a $4,000 one-time scholarship to students who graduate at least one year early from a publicly supported high school.
Remember that these state-specific scholarships often require filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) first, so be sure to complete that as early as possible to maximize your chances.
For more scholarships, you can use the scholarship search function on Appily. You can also check out scholarship information provided by the state government on their website or perhaps contact the financial aid offices of the colleges in Indiana you're considering. They often have an extensive list of scholarships, including those specific to individual colleges.
Remember to start your search early, and apply for as many scholarships as possible to increase your chances of securing some form of financial aid. Good luck!
