21st Century Scholars

Does the thought of paying for college seem impossible to you and your family? Indiana's 21st Century Scholars Program can help by covering as much as four years of paid tuition at an eligible Indiana two-year or four-year college or university.

Thousands of students throughout Indiana are 21st Century Scholars. As soon as you enter 7th- or 8th-grade, you are eligible to enroll in the 21st Century Scholars program. The last day to apply is June 30th of your 8th grade year. 

Once you have been admitted into the program, you will need to complete the Scholar Success Program by creating a Scholar Track account.

This account is how you’ll complete your required activities for each year in high school. For tips to help you stay on track for success in high school, visit Indiana Commission on Higher Education’s page at https://learnmoreindiana.org/scholars/

Contact your school councelor or the 21st Century Scholar Recruiter for more information or for assistance with the application process.
