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 first and full consideration (including all Academic Scholarships),
th
scholarship and admission applications must be received by January 15 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 a primary consideration, we strongly recommend each family file the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 10 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.
Those eligible for the Scholarships are required to file a FAFSA by MARCH 10 each year to be eligible for the award.
