If you attend a private college, the state will award an amount comparable to that of a four-year public college. If you attend a participating proprietary (for-profit) school, the state will award a tuition scholarship equal to that of Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana. Students must apply for the program in 7th or 8th grade and keep up with their Scholar Success requirements throughout high school to maintain eligibility.
    • Additional assistance available to 21st Century Scholars:
      • Purdue Promise (West Lafayette Campus): Purdue Promise provides additional financial support to 21st Century Scholars to assist with tuition and fees, room and board, and books to cover the cost of attending Purdue-West Lafayette full-time. Students will also receive personal support while attending.
      • 21st Century Scholarship Covenant (IU Bloomington Campus): The Covenant supplements the 21st Century Scholars state grant to assist with budgeted costs for tuition and fees, room and board, and books. The receipt of other gift aid and the student’s Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) are also considered in determining the amount of the Covenant award.
