Freshmen entering in the Fall of 2023 who meet the following criteria will receive the Hoosier Aces Scholarship which in combination with other gift aid will cover tuition, fees, standard housing, and meals. No special application is needed to be awarded the Hoosier Aces Scholarship. It will automatically be offered to qualified Indiana students who meet the following criteria:

• Have a family adjusted gross income of less than $50,000
  OR
• Are eligible for free or reduced lunch as determined by the National School Lunch Act

AND

• Are eligible for Indiana state grant funding

How It Will Work

CA88 will first combine the student's CA88 Scholarships, Indiana State Grant Funding, and Federal Grant Funding. Any remaining gap between this combined amount and full-time tuition, full-time fees, standard housing and meal costs will be covered through the Hoosier Aces Scholarship. In this way, CA88 ensures the student will have no out-of-pocket costs for full-time tuition and fees, or standard housing and meals.
