21st Century Scholars
Indiana’s 21st Century Scholars Program offers income-eligible Hoosier students up to four years of paid tuition at an eligible Indiana college or university after they graduate from high school. In middle and high school, 21st Century Scholars are connected to programs and resources to help them prepare for college. Once in college, Scholars receive support to complete their college degrees and connect to career opportunities.
You can enroll as a Scholar as early as seventh grade, but no later than June 30 after your eighth grade year.
Marion Community Schools also partners with a local organization that provides recruitment and other support for 21st Century Scholars. For assistance or more information about the program, click here to reach out to our local partners at Project Leadership.
