Scholarship Benefits

IU offers millions of dollars in scholarships and financial aid each year across its seven campuses. For example, in addition to the Herbert Presidential Scholars, other merit scholarship programs at IU include the Wells Scholars Program and Kelley Scholars Program on the Bloomington campus and the Bepko Scholars Program on the IU Indianapolis campus.

This award is designated specifically for Indiana residents. Indiana University offers other scholarships that may be available to out-of-state residents. For more information, see www.indiana.edu, select the campus you're interested in attending, and view the section on financial aid and scholarships.

Indiana's top graduating high school seniors who have applied for admission to an Indiana University campus may be nominated by that campus for consideration. Students who are interested in being considered for the Herbert Presidential Scholar Award are encouraged to apply for admission to IU in the fall (by November 1 for full scholarship and financial aid consideration) of their senior year of high school.

Notifications of receipt of the award go out in February.

Except in rare instances, scholarships are not transferable. The Herbert Presidential Scholarship is specific to the campus to which a student has originally applied and been offered admission. Awards will be extended by the campus provost or chancellor sponsoring the award. Transfer requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the Office of the Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
