Where Indiana University-Indianapolis lists its scholarships

IU Scholarships general application (built on AcademicWorks, iu.academicworks.com) is the universal front door most IU Indianapolis schools/colleges (Fairbanks, O'Neill, Kelley, Luddy, Herron, Liberal Arts, Nursing, Science) route their named departmental awards through; School of Health & Human Sciences instead uses a separate Blackbaud Award Management (BAM) portal for its department scholarships.
