Nina Scholars
The IUPUI Nina Scholars Program provides a unique opportunity for students from underserved backgrounds to obtain the resources and support needed to successfully complete their college education. This program serves students who meet one of the following criteria: a returning student who is 25 years of age or older with dependents in the family unit, a college-age youth or adult with physical disabilities, or an incoming freshman between the ages of 18 and 25 who has been raised in the child welfare system and has no form of financial support. Scholarship recipients receive full tuition, fees and books, an annual living allowance, and a laptop computer. Program participation includes academic-focused mentoring; meetings and workshops focused on academic success, career development, and personal growth; community-service; and engagement in the university through the Nina Scholars community. A cohort of seven scholarship recipients is selected each year. For more information, please visit the Nina Mason Pulliam Legacy Scholars Program Web site or contact program staff at nina@iupui.edu.
