Herbert Presidential Scholarship from IU

Paying for College
1

<p>I was wondering if anyone on this website has received the Herbert Presidential Scholarship from Indiana University. I am really striving for this scholarship! I know that all you have to do is apply to IU and you could be considered. What made you get this scholarship? What was your GPA, SAT score, extracurricular/leadership involvement? Also, how much money did you receive? Is it true that you have to be National Merit Scholar?</p>

<p>Thanks so much for your help!</p>

<p>The person in our school that won it was a NMF, 4th in class, great grades and okay ECs. It is a great scholarship, but not the only good one from IU. The auto merit basically covers full tuition and there is a good honors program. On top of that, there are scholarships for research and working students. </p>

<p>If you have any interest in IUPUI, there honors program is actually a separate Honors College, with special facilities, luxurious honors apartments, etc and has great scholarships as well.</p>

<p>It does seem like the awards go to NMFs and National Achievement Finalists (for African American students). </p>

<p>Maybe these are offered to these students as an attempt to keep them from going OOS to school?</p>

<p>IU is very generous toward IS students. You should go to the IU forum to join the discussion.</p>

<p>Yes, IU is in regards to their assured scholarships for stats.<br>
The one below seems to be either full tuition or close to it.</p>

<p>IU Excellence - $36,000 ($9,000 per year)<br>
The IU Excellence Scholarship is awarded to the best and brightest students in the state of Indiana who meet each of the following criteria:</p>

<p>Indiana resident
Minimum SAT score of 1350 or minimum ACT of 31
Minimum GPA of 3.80 on a 4.0 scale</p>

<p>IU Prestige - $12,000 ($3,000 per year)
The*IU Prestige Scholarship is awarded to Indiana resident students who meet each of the following criteria:</p>

<p>Indiana resident
Minimum SAT score of 1250 or minimum ACT of 28
Minimum GPA of 3.70 on a 4.0 scale</p>

<p>However, the Herbert scholarship is highly competitive and is awarded to students attending a few different IN publics… I’m not even sure if the IU-B people actually get to do the selecting. It seems like a centralized diversity office does the selecting.</p>
