As part of that commitment, the CHE offers several grant programs for state residents. To be eligible for the grants listed below, make sure to complete your FAFSA by April 15 and correct any errors on your FAFSA as soon as possible (unless otherwise specified).
Named for a late governor of Indiana, Frank O’Bannon Grants are awarded to Indiana residents who show that they need money for their education. The grant can be used to pay for tuition and fees while you study toward your first bachelor’s degree or an associate’s degree at IU Bloomington.
A 21st Century Scholarship Award can help pay for your first undergraduate degree at IU Bloomington. If you qualify, you can use this funding to pay for tuition and mandatory fees (activity, student health, technology, transportation, and repair and rehab fees).
If you meet income criteria, you can enroll in the program during seventh or eighth grade. The program will help you prepare and pay for college.
