Chancellor's Merit Award

The Chancellor's Merit Award is intended to increase diversity in the IPFW student body. Up to 100 awards are available for beginning IPFW students who are classified as non-Indiana residents. Students receiving the awards may attend IPFW at in-state costs for tuition and fees.

Criteria

Recipients must be beginning IPFW students who are classified as non-Indiana residents and who:

  1. Have a high school rank in the top 25% and earn an SAT score of at least 1650 (or an ACT score of at least 24), or
  2. Have earned semifinalist or finalist status in the National Merit Scholarship competition, or
  3. Transfer from another regionally accredited college or university with at least 24 credits and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0*, or
  4. Transfer from another regionally accredited college or university having completed 24 credit hours at more than one college with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or above at each institution attended. Transfer students with fewer than 24 credits completed will be evaluated on their high school record and test scores.

An international student coming to IPFW as a beginning IPFW student, must have scored a minimum of 550 on the TOEFL if the test was paper-based, or a minimum of 213 if the TOEFL was computer-based or a minimum of 79 if the TOEFL was internet-based. International students must also ask the IPFW International Student Services Office to recommend them for scholarship consideration.

No scholarship application is required. Awards require full time enrollment in fall and spring semesters, (minimum of 12 credit hours each semester) with no break in enrollment. This award may be used for summer school. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 is required for renewal. Grades for renewal are only checked at the end of spring semester each year. Awards are limited to four years of enrollment, with no break in enrollment periods (students are not required to enroll in summer). A student may receive a Chancellor's Distinguished Scholarship, or a Chancellor's Scholarship, or a Chancellor's Merit Award, but no more than one of these scholarships will be awarded to any individual student. Not available to other students currently or previously enrolled at IPFW. Award may commence in fall or spring semester.
