Kelley Scholars Program? and other questions Provost and Hudson Holland

Is the Kelley Scholars Program through SSA or completely separate? My child’s SSA invite was only for a Cox scholarship and we would not meet the financial need part, so I didn’t make him do the SSA. Now, I wonder if I limited him on other potential scholarships that I was unaware of. I was under the impression he was only invited to apply for the one scholarship, but now I’m hearing that’s not always the case (of course, we are too late)

Also, what happens if an in-state student gets a Provost scholarship and Hudson and Holland scholarship that combined will exceed tuition? Does the extra go to cover room/board? I read online that Cox scholarships go up to the total cost of attendance when combined with other scholarships, but I couldn’t find the detail for the other combo. This isn’t our situation, but asking for a friend.

Thanks

Did the Hudson & Holland scholarships come out already? I think this one is stackable, yes. But I would call the scholarship office to verify.

As far as I know, all of the scholars programs are selected via the SSA. The Well’s scholars program is unique in that potential students are nominated by a participating Indiana schools and it is a multi-stage process of elimination. The admissions committee can also nominate worthy students for this program. There is the Kelley scholars program, the Herbert scholar program (only Indiana students) the Hudson & Holland (underrepresented minorities), the Cox (income criteria) and a few others. A student who applies to the SSA can be awarded multiple stackable scholarships as with my D who recieved a Provost scholarship upon admission as well as the (SSA) Herbert scholar, a Honors college scholarship, and a science direct admit scholarship. The combination of these rarely exceed the published COA for tax purposes and any Bursar excess gets refunded to the registered student’s bank account to use for thier additional expenses after housing and mandatory fees are paid. It’s wise to hold on to all receipts. Tax statements: 1098 T are mailed to the student’s permanent address and are available through One.IU. I believe the scholarships did make us ineligible for the additional education tax credit but were not taxable in our situation.
