Enrollment in the IU Tuition Benefit Program

For IU High School (IUHS) courses, a separate IUHS Tuition Waiver Application must be completed before the student registers for classes. The fee waiver cannot be applied to courses after you have registered.
Completed applications should be submitted to IU Human Resources for processing. After verification of eligibility, IU Human Resources will provide your enrollment information to Indiana University High School. At that time, you may register for IUHS courses with the fee waiver.

If you're taking Indiana University High School courses while earning your diploma locally through a public or private high school, check with your counselor to see if your school participates in the IUHS academic scholarship program.

For every 10 course registrations Indiana University High School receives from your high school, a scholarship covering tuition for an 11th registration is awarded to the school.

Your school determines who receives the scholarship. It can award the scholarship to a student at the time it is received, or scholarships can be banked, with additional scholarships accruing for every 10 registrations. It's possible that your school has a scholarship available, so be sure to talk to your counselor.
