Hello Parents and Students!
Below are some information I feel is valuable to you. I will update the site throughout the year with different information. Feel free to contact me if you have any school concerns that I can assist you with!
21st Century Scholar Program
Indiana started the Twenty-first Century Scholars in 1990 to ensure that every student can afford a college education. Income-eligible 7th and 8th graders who enroll in the program and fulfill a pledge of good citizenship are guaranteed the cost of four years of college tuition at any participating public college or university in Indiana.
But first you have to apply. Students and their parents must complete and return the application by June 30 of the 8th grade year. Click here to review this important program.
