Competitive scholarships available for international students include the Chancellor's Scholarship, the Valedictorian and Salutatorian Scholarships, and the IUPUI Global Engagement Scholarship. For these, there's no separate application process - your admission application is your scholarship application too.
1. Chancellor's Scholarship covers up to $48,000 over four years if you're an undergraduate student.

Lastly, remember it's crucial to submit your admission application to IUPUI and all documents by November 1 to receive priority consideration for scholarships. Best of luck with your applications!
