ILI ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP

Annual Scholarship (for graduating high school senior and current undergraduate and graduate college students)

ILI awards need and merit-based scholarships to graduating high school senior and current undergraduate and graduate college students who show academic excellence and community service involvement and are attending a college or university in Indiana.

Preference is given to applicants who are Latino first-generation college students and students who do not qualify for government aid. Scholarship recipients are selected by an outside committee. The ILI Academic Scholarship was created as a means to address the under-representation of Latinos in post-secondary education. The goal is to encourage Latino students in Indiana to pursue higher education and engage in community service.

The 2026 scholarship application period is now closed. Details for the 2027 scholarship cycle will be announced at a later date.
