VINCENNES UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS

 

Vincennes University and the Vincennes University Foundation annually award more than $1,000,000 in scholarships and grants to assist students in reaching their educational goals. Scholarship award amounts vary from year to year, based on available funds. All scholarship applications will be reviewed for a possible match. The previous priority deadline has been extended to August 15 for the Fall 2021 semester. All other scholarships are awarded based on availability. 

All scholarship recipients who are eligible for filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are required to do so. The FAFSA deadline is April 15 of each year. You may still submit a FAFSA after April 15 but there are some financial aid opportunities you will not receive if filed after April 15.
