21st Century Scholar Information
It is time for 7th and 8th graders to apply to the 21st Century Scholar program. There are many benefits to this program, such as offering income-eligible Hoosier students up to four years of paid tuition at an eligible Indiana College or University after they graduate high school.
To enroll in the 21st Century Scholars program, you must:
• Be a resident of Indiana as an applicant and as a scholarship recipient (determined by the residency of your parent or legal guardian).
• Be a US citizen or an eligible non-citizen.
• Be enrolled in the 7th or 8th grade at a charter school, freeway school or other Indiana school accredited by the Indiana Department of Education.
• Agree to fulfill the 21st Century Scholars Pledge.
• Meet income eligibility requirements.
Throughout high school, students in the program will need to complete various activities each year to help students stay on track for college and career success.
The flyer shown above provides additional information about the 21st Century Program. It is recommended to apply online through their website (directions are on the attached flyer).
