At IU, you won’t just sit in a classroom. You’ll gain hands-on learning during your first year so you can rise above the competition. Don’t just imagine doing something—put it into practice in one of our renowned research facilities or in an original, creative activity. Hoosiers are doers.
Affordability
As an international student, you not only qualify for the regular scholarships but for international scholarships as well. Many of our scholarships are merit-based and don't require a separate scholarship application. One-in-three admitted international students receive a scholarship!
We understand that attending college in a different country isn’t cheap—but with IU, it’s more than possible.
When it came down to choosing a university, I knew IU was the right choice when I realized I felt at home—it was like I never left my hometown.
