The Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship program provides scholarships for full tuition, required fees, and a special allocation of up to $900 per year for required books and equipment for four years of undergraduate study on a full-time basis, leading to a baccalaureate degree at any eligible Indiana public or private nonprofit college or university.
The program is administered statewide by Independent Colleges of Indiana (ICI) and locally through the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County.
Including Monroe County’s two scholarship recipients in cohort 2025, the Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program will provide 147 scholarships statewide this year. Lilly Endowment Community Scholars are known for their community involvement, academic achievement, character, and leadership.
Monroe County’s application deadline for the 2025 cohort was August 15, 2024. Stay tuned for announcements for the 2026 cohort application.
