VINCENNES UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS

Vincennes University offers 4 academic scholarships: Academic or Technical Honors Diploma, Blue and Gold, Presidential, and Valedictorian/Salutatorian.

New students must complete the admissions application and requirements. All students must file the FAFSA each academic year. Recipients are eligible for only one Academic scholarship per academic year (fall and spring semesters only, summer is not included). These scholarships are not program-specific.

The award is contingent upon enrollment at Vincennes University and meeting all criteria for the specific scholarship awarded.
