We’re on a mission to improve academic access and success.
Indiana college graduates earn an average of $22,000 more than non-graduates. Yet only four out of 10 Hoosiers hold a degree or credential, often due to economic barriers. CICF removes those barriers with scholarships designed to increase access to post-secondary education opportunities for all types of learners.
eligibility, requirements and timing
Our scholarships are designed for students at any stage of life who are planning to a variety of school types, including:
