The 2015 deadline for Indiana seventh and eighth grade students to apply for Indiana’s 21st Century Scholars program is June 30.

The 21st Century Scholars program provides up to four years of tuition and fees for low-income students who meet certain goals and requirements outlined in an agreement called the “Scholar Pledge.” The pledge requires students to maintain at least a 2.5 grade-point average; avoid drugs, alcohol and criminal activity; and perform certain tasks that increase their likelihood of college success.

Hoosier students must apply during their seventh or eighth grade year to be eligible. Students commit to maintaining academic success, remaining drug and alcohol free and completing college-preparation activities.
