Students
Think you're too young to be thinking about college? Well, think again!
It's never too early to start thinking about what you want to do when you grow up.
It's also not too early to sign up for Indiana's 21st Century Scholars program!
If your family meets certain financial need requirements and you sign up by your
8th grade year and agree to uphold the 21st Century Scholars Pledge, you, yes, YOU,
can go to college for FREE!!
Students who sign up for this program and fulfill the
terms of the pledge (basically, getting good grades and staying out of trouble with
the law) will receive a full-tuition scholarship for any Indiana public university
or college. If you decide to go to a private school in Indiana, you get a scholarship
for that school that is equivalent to what it would cost to go to a public school.
If you want to find out more about this program, call the ICPAC hotline at
(800) 992-2078.
