College / University Scholarships

Almost every post-secondary institution that you apply to will offer scholarships and financial aid for incoming freshmen.

These opportunities are not available through the high school guidance office but rather by contacting the college or university's Office of Financial Aid. The webpage of the college or university that you are considering should have a link to incoming freshman scholarships and the steps needed to apply. These scholarships are going to be more competitive at the major state universities (IU, Purdue). Private colleges/universities tend to offer more opportunities for scholarships to help offset the much higher tuition costs. Bottom line: Contact the college or universities Office of Financial Aid.
