Scholarships & Awards

Find the support you need

It’s a good idea to apply for scholarships before you borrow money. In addition to university-wide opportunities, be sure to review funding opportunities available through the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, as well as those offered by the College of Arts and Sciences, Office of Scholarships and the IU Foundation, and don’t forget to explore additional scholarships in your hometown. You might qualify for scholarships offered by civic and service organizations, the military, and private foundations.
