Indiana Private Colleges Campus Supports & Incentives for 21st Century Scholars
2015-2016 Revised March, 2016
Using Your 21st Century Scholarship
How the 21st Century Scholarship works:
Does not pay full tuition at an eligible Indiana Private college, but can be applied toward a portion of regularly assessed tuition and fees. Many private colleges offer additional institutional aid to support Scholars.
Does not cover room, board, books, or other expenses associated with college enrollment;
Valid for 8 semesters (four years) of full-time enrollment;
Students must enroll in an eligible Indiana college or university within one year of graduating high school;
Students must enroll as full-time students to receive the Scholarship;
Funds are disbursed directly to the institution on behalf of the student, NOT paid directly to the student; the 21st Century Scholarship should be listed on students’ award notification letter and applied directly to students’ bursar accounts.
In order to receive the full 21st Century Scholarship Award each year, students MUST:
File a FAFSA by Indiana’s March 10th priority deadline and make all corrections 1 by May 15th.
Complete at least 30 credit hours by the end of the first year; 60 credit hours by the end of the second year; and 90 credit hours by the end of the third year.
Credit hour requirements can include college credit earned in high school and in summer college courses. The 21st Century Scholarship can be applied toward summer tuition if student has unused funds (check with home institution’s financial aid office.).
21st Century Scholars who complete fewer credits may be eligible for Frank O’Bannon Grant (FOB) if they meet the following completion criteria: 24-29 credits by the end of the first year; 48-59 credits by the end of the second year; 72-89 credits by the end of the third year.
Students will not be eligible to receive either the 21st Century Scholarship or the FOB award if they complete fewer than:
24 credits by the end of the first year; 48 credits by the end of the second year; 72 credits by the end of the third year.
st Using Your 21 Century Scholarship
Students who do not complete at least 30 credits each academic year for the first three years of college can earn their way back into the program by taking summer courses or additional credits during the academic year to catch up to required levels.
Using Your 21st Century Scholarship
3 Make Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) as determined by their institution.
At Indiana’s colleges and universities, making SAP includes staying on pace to graduate and completing a degree within a maximum time frame. SAP also includes maintaining a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) and successfully completing a percentage of cumulative attempted coursework. Institutions typically set a limit on incomplete grades and withdrawals from courses.
Each institution determines its own SAP guidelines. The table that follows includes cumulative GPA requirements, as well as the percentage of cumulative attempted coursework that students must successfully complete, for each private institution in Indiana. This table does NOT include individual institution requirements for staying on pace to graduation and maximum time frames for earning a degree—since per program requirements—all 21st Century Scholars must complete 30 credit hours per academic year (see ―2‖ above) and to earn a degree within four years to continue earning their 21st Century Scholarship.
