Apply through One.IU
Search in One.IU for the “IU Scholarships” tile. The system will optimize opportunities by matching you to recommended awards.
To get started, you must initiate a general application by answering 7 required questions and electronically signing before submitting. The application contains many questions designed for undergraduate applicants to IU. Continuing undergraduate and graduate students need only complete the required pieces. The general application may be created at any time during the academic year.
To be considered for Biology awards, you must complete a Conditional Application after you have completed the general application. This application requires you to upload a current CV, a personal statement, and the email address of your advisor who will supply a letter of recommendation.
Some awards may require additional application materials to be submitted. IU Scholarships will notify you if you are eligible for awards that require an additional application.
Note that your letter of recommendation should be from your thesis research advisor.
