    • The scholarship requires paid membership in an organization (with certain exceptions for reputable trade organizations and others)

    • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
    • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
    • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months

    ** Lead generation scholarships will require students to sign up for an app or website and require minimal (if any) application requirements.
    ***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.

    Each year, the Little Miami Brewing Native American Scholarship Award seeks to pay tribute to Native American history by providing assistance to the upcoming generation of Native students, enabling them to pursue their aspirations in higher education. The scholarship is funded by The Little Miami Brewing Company, who knows that preserving Native American history while uplifting future generations is of utmost importance. Throughout history, the Native American community has faced oppression and neglect, resulting in limited financial resources and a lack of collegiate guidance for individuals of Native American descent. Consequently, Native American students often encounter immense challenges in finding the necessary financial and social support to thrive in college. This scholarship gives The Little Miami Brewing Company a chance to give back and support the Native American collegiate community. It is open to all Native American, college-bound, high school seniors in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. To apply, share your personal journey as a Native American and how your heritage has profoundly influenced your life.Show Less

    Consider in-state tuition and tuition reciprocity

    In-state tuition is the rate that students pay to attend a public or state college in their state of residence. Public colleges receive state funding in order to lower the rates learners pay as well as they receive a majority of funding through taxes paid by in-state residents. This is why students who attend in-state institutions often pay much less than out-of-state students. 

    Here are a few well-known Indiana universities and their in-state vs out-of-state tuition costs:

    Ball State University

    • In-state tuition: $8,434
    • Out-of-state tuition: $25,918

    Indiana University – Bloomington

    • In-state tuition: $11,560
    • Out-of-state tuition: $39,510

    Purdue University

    • In-state tuition: $9,992
    • Out-of-state tuition: $28,794

    How do you get in-state tuition?

    In-state tuition reduces the cost of Indiana tuition significantly. Therefore, you are probably wondering how you can qualify for in-state tuition in Indiana. 

    Students must fulfill certain criteria, which include domicile, duration of residence, intent to remain, and financial independence. “Domicile” means that you must establish a permanent and primary residence in Indiana. The specific duration of residency required can vary by state, but you will need to reside in Indiana for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the start of the academic term. Then, you should demonstrate your intent to remain in Indiana beyond your education. This  can be done by obtaining an Indiana driver’s license and registering to vote in Indiana. Lastly, it is important to note that some institutions require that your parents or legal guardians establish residency in Indiana in order to qualify for in-state tuition.

    Overall, it is important to verify with the institutions you are interested in to find out their specific requirements for establishing residency to receive in-state tuition in Indiana. 

    Does Indiana have tuition reciprocity? 

    Yes, the state of Indiana has tuition reciprocity as part of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) through the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC). SARA intends to make it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions based in another state. 

    Additionally, there is tuition reciprocity between Indiana and Ohio as well as Indiana and Kentucky. This means that Indiana is expanding education opportunities in both Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky while limiting the cost of such expansion to the taxpayers of these states. The intended outcomes of this tuition reciprocity is to increase the availability of programs to residents of all three states.
