Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship - Unity Foundation of La Porte County The Lilly Endowment Community Scholarship Program seeks to increase the number of Indiana residents who hold college degrees.

At Indiana University Northwest, we understand the unique challenges many of your students face as they prepare to transition from high school to college, especially first-generation and 21st Century Scholars navigating the process for the first time. That’s exactly why we created our 21st Century Scholars Summer College Kickoff to help address and remove common barriers and set students up for success before they even begin their first semester.

We invite you to encourage your graduating seniors who are 21st Century Scholars and plan to attend IU Northwest to register for this opportunity. This program is completely free and is the only program of its kind in the region specifically designed for 21st Century Scholars.
