Students are awarded the highest merit scholarship for which they are eligible based on the academic criteria established for each scholarship fund. This award takes precedence over all UIndy awards of lesser value. However, talent awards (art, music, theatre and speech, etc.), the United Methodist Award and the Legacy Award may be added to the merit scholarship as long as the overall maximum for all gift aid is not exceeded.

UIndy merit scholarships may be received for up to eight semesters (six semesters for Transfer Scholarships) of full-time undergraduate study provided renewal and Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements are met. 

The UIndy merit scholarship in combination with other gift aid such as UIndy talent awards (art, music, theatre, speech, etc.) or scholarships may not exceed the cost of university-assessed charges for tuition and a standard book allowance for commuter students or tuition, standard double and triple occupancy room (not to include increased charges for certain residence halls such as Central, Roberts, East), 14 meal plan and a standard book allowance for students living in campus housing. Students who live on campus and have outside scholarships may receive a combination of gift aid to include tuition, a standard book allowance, and charges assessed for meal plans and residence halls. 

Any combination of gift aid including all scholarships, grants, merit awards, talent awards (e.g. art, music, theatre, speech, etc.), tuition waivers and any other UIndy gift assistance may not exceed the cost of university assessed charges for tuition, standard double or triple occupancy room, and a standard book allowance when residing in Greyhound Village, The Lofts, and College Crossing.

UIndy merit scholarships cannot be used to cover tuition costs at another institution (e.g. study abroad, etc.), overload credit hours, internships that assess charges for participation, general services fee, engineering fee, nursing fee, special fees or tuition for summer enrollment periods.

All merit aid awarded for undergraduate study is not available for graduate study in any program. This includes students who enter into the first year of an early entry graduate program after only three years of undergraduate study, or students who graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in three years.

Several additional NCAA and UIndy policies apply to students receiving Athletic Grants. If minimum academic thresholds for class rank, GPA and test scores are achieved, Athletic Grants may be combined with UIndy merit scholarships. Athletic Grants in combination with all other gift aid may not exceed the cost of tuition for a commuter student or tuition, room and board for a student living in an on-campus residence hall. Athletic Grants may not be used to pay the charge for a single room including East Hall (which are all single rooms), Greyhound Village Apartments (all single rooms), The Lofts, and College Crossing. Questions about the awarding of Athletic Grants with other scholarships may be directed to the Associate Director of Athletics for Compliance.
