Financial NeedThe downloads automatically include the optional National Dollars for Scholars "FAQ". If you wish to be considered for any scholarships that consider financial need, you must complete and return the completed FAQ directly to National for confidential evaluation. You do not pay any fee for this service, which is underwritten by the Tipton County Foundation. The final two pages of the application are the FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE QUESTIONNAIRE and its instructions. These have been provided
by the National Dollars for Scholars program in order to impartially
evaluate the applicants’ need for financial assistance.
This Dollars for Scholars FAQ is used only for
Tipton County Dollars for Scholars and related decisions. Financial Aid
from the federal government, your college or university, and some other
donors depends on you completing the "FAFSA". If you have not already
done so, visit http://www.fafsa.ed.gov
for information. The two need statements (FAQ & FAFSA) are completely
separate from each other. |

The Twenty-first Century Scholars Program
began in 1990 as Indiana's way of raising the educational aspirations of low-
and moderate-income families. The program aims to ensure that all Indiana
families can afford a college education for their children.
Income-eligible 7th- and 8th-graders who enroll
in the program and fulfill a pledge of good citizenship are guaranteed the cost
of four years of college tuition at any participating public college or
university in Indiana.
Income eligibility is the same as for free or reduced priced lunches under the national school lunch program. Home-schooled children are apparently not eligible.
