The Twenty-First Century Scholars program guarantees that the State of Indiana will pay the cost of tuition at an Indiana public college or university, or a similar amount to any Indiana private college or university in exchange for a student’s fulfillment of the Twenty-First Century Scholars Pledge.  The terms of which are stated below:

Twenty-First Century Scholars Pledge:

• I agree to graduate from an Indiana high school with a high school diploma.
• I will achieve a cumulative high school GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.
• I will not use illegal drugs or alcohol, or commit any crime.
• I will apply for admission to an Indiana college, university, or technical school as a high school senior.
• I will apply on time for state and federal student financial aid.

Students may participate in the program if they are eligible to take part in the federal school lunch program or Indiana’s textbook assistance program.  It is important to note that eligibility is based on family income even if the student does not participate in the assisted lunch and/or textbook program.

Students must complete the Twenty-First Century Scholars Application for Enrollment during their seventh or eighth grade school year.  Applications must be completed online at the link below no later than June 30, 2021.

If you have further questions about the 21st Century Scholars program, please call the Twenty-First Century Scholars office at (888) 528-4719.

• Help children understand, and take responsibility for, the consequences of their choices.  "I chose to do my homework. The result was that I got an 'A' on my math test."  "I chose to get up 15 minutes late.  The result was that I missed breakfast and nearly missed the bus."  
• Give children some household responsibilities:  Make sure responsibilities are clearly understood. If your children are not used to helping out, have a meeting to discuss why they must get involved.  Involve everyone in the family when assigning jobs.
• Make yours an equal opportunity household.  Boys should learn about food preparation and laundering clothes.  Girls need to learn how to handle simple household tools.
• Develop "no-nag" methods of reminding children.  Some families post a chart on the refrigerator.  Each day, family members check off their jobs as they complete them.
• Don't redo chores your kids have done.  If a job can only be done your way, then you have to do it.  Redoing a job hurts your child's self-esteem.
• Finally, help your kids learn that freedom and responsibility go hand-in-hand.  As they do more, they should also expect more freedom.
• To encourage taking responsibility for homework time, plan to read or do something quiet yourself at that time.  You'll be a good example and enjoy a moment of peace and quiet!
