Scholarships
If you are an incoming student, please view scholarships available for freshman and transfer students.
We offer several scholarships for current, full-time undergraduate students in all degree programs. These scholarships are not renewable. You must apply each year to be considered.
You must continue to be a Luddy Indianapolis major for the duration of the scholarship award period. If you switch to a major outside of Luddy Indianapolis at any time during the award period, your scholarship will be rescinded.
The scholarship committee meets after the application deadline to review applications. For most scholarships with a March 15 deadline, all students who meet the scholarship criteria will be moved to the next stage of the process and will be invited to submit a personal statement. The scholarship committee will determine the recipient from those who submit the personal statement. Scholarship recipients will be notified by email or through the online scholarship portal.
We also encourage you to check out the IUPUI Scholarship Search Engine.
Here’s how to get started
- Take a look at the opportunities and requirements listed for your major.

- Then search for the opportunity for which you want to apply and complete the application for that scholarship. Submit all required information as noted in the application (FAFSA, letter of recommendation, essay, etc). Each scholarship may have different application requirements.
