Groups Scholars Program Scholarship

The Groups Scholars Program was established as a way to increase college attendance among first-generation, underrepresented students attending Indiana University Southeast. As part of the Multicultural Student Center, the Groups Scholars Program maximizes financial aid, and provides academic and social support to selected underrepresented Indiana college students from matriculation to graduation and beyond. Students who are admitted as Groups Scholars spend six weeks during the late summer term before their freshman year taking courses in College Writing and First Year Seminar while being introduced to the campus and establishing a network of social and academic support. The program offers an extensive student support system, including academic advising, tutoring, enrollment in specialized courses, and activities designed to foster academic success and degree completion throughout the academic year.
