Grants and Scholarships

University of Indianapolis academic scholarships and grants listed are awarded to full-time students regardless of financial need. With the exception of the Legacy Award, the highest award will take precedence over lesser awards. Depending on the amount awarded, some departmental and special interest awards may be added to the merit scholarships.

Additional sources of financial assistance may be available to students who file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and demonstrate financial need.
