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. For full consideration (including all Academic Scholarships), scholarship and admission applications must be received by January 15th each year. Scholarship applications submitted after that deadline are not eligible for Academic Scholarships. All other scholarships are awarded based on availability. As many scholarships indicate financial need as primary consideration, we strongly recommend each family file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 15th each year, even if you do not think you will qualify for federal or state financial aid grants. For each academic year, filing of the FAFSA is required for many scholarships, including all academic awards.

 

All scholarship recipients who are eligible for filing a FAFSA are required to do so. The FAFSA deadline is APRIL 15th of each year.
