The Lauren Robel Bicentennial Fellowship provides funding to students from select counties in Indiana pursuing graduate education at Indiana University. Preference will be given to former Lauren Robel Bicentennial Undergraduate Scholarship recipients.
This is a single-year award, in the form of a stipend, health insurance and a 30-hour fee remission (at the current Graduate School rate) for the upcoming year. The number of awards will vary based on the availability of funds.
The successful applicants may use the stipend funds for living expenses or any other expense related to the cost of attendance.
Note: The award must be used for the year it is awarded. A recipient cannot place this award into a "reserve status" for use in a future year.
