Scholarships and Grants

IUSF Scholarships

Each year, the IU Student Foundation awards more than $80,000 in scholarships thanks to the generosity of donors and the IU community.

You can apply for the majority of IU Student Foundation scholarships through IU's general online scholarship application at One.iu.edu. Simply search for the "Scholarships (All IU Campuses)" task to get started. Completing the general application takes about 15 minutes and allows you to be automatically considered for many of the scholarships we offer.

Some scholarships may require that you answer further application questions or provide additional materials to be considered. We recommend that you periodically return to your online application to see if you are being considered for scholarships or have been asked to provide supplementary information.

IUSF Metz Grants

The Arthur R. Metz Philanthropic Opportunity fund offers grants to IU Student Organizations with demonstrated need for financial support.

The Metz Grant is administered through the IU Student Foundation. Metz Grants are awarded in both the Spring and Fall semesters. Finalists will be required to make a presentation to the selection committee. Previous Metz Grant recipients are not eligible for funding again until two semesters (including the semester the grant was awarded) have passed.
