Which of these a student actually clears depends on GPA, test score, home state, and major. A free Graidy account works that out award by award, and shows what is left to pay after it.
Cost of attendance as published: tuition, fees, housing, and food for one year. It is the sticker, before any of the awards above and before need-based aid.
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.
