Traditionally, a full-ride scholarship would cover tuition, books and room and board; however, because of rising costs, the valedictorian full ride is often modified to just a reduced tuition scholarship. In the state of Indiana, it is more common to give a traditional full-ride scholarship not just to valedictorians, but also to anyone who has a high GPA and high standardized test scores, and is successful with an essay and personal interview.
Ball State University
- Ball State University offers ten Whitinger Scholars Program awards each year. Subject to annual review, the award covers full tuition, fees and room and board, and is renewable for a total of eight semesters. To be eligible for this scholarship, you must be a first-time honors college freshman entering the fall semester. Also required are at least a 3.7 GPA on a 4.0 scale, a SAT composite score of 1950 or an ACT composite of 29. The scholarship is not advertised. Honors College applicants who meet the scholarship requirements and return the written school application will be sent a separate application for the Whitinger Scholars Program, which also includes an on-campus interview and an essay.
Hanover College
- Hanover College has two types of full-tuition scholarships through the Global Scholars Program Trustee Scholarship and the Benjamin Temple Scholarship Program. The Global Scholar Trustee Scholarship offers not only full tuition, but also a guaranteed, fully funded off-campus spring term trip for your choice of the sophomore, junior or senior year. To qualify as a Global Scholar, you simply apply for admission to Hanover College. If selected as candidate for the program, you will be invited for a faculty interview.

Tips From Users Like You
How to get accepted into an Ivy League University
- 1 If you have a lot of money or your family has political connections or you are royalty, you may be able to skip the remaining steps.
- 2 Start in 8th grade, before you attend high school, visualizing your success strategy. If you wait until your junior or senior year of high school it may be too late.
- 3 Pick your path to excellence. Ivy League schools are looking for individuals that excel in one or more areas. If you have the brains to be the valedictorian of your high school class, then you should focus on academic excellence. If you are bright, but you have more talent in sports, then you may want to focus your efforts on becoming one of the top athletes in your state. But you don't have to be an academic or sports hero. For example, if you are able to write a symphony, start a wildly successful business, paint beautiful pictures then you may attract the eyes of an admissions officer.
- 4 Once you have picked your path to excellence, focus on it during your entire high school career, but don't neglect becoming a well-rounded individual. Schools can be turned off by people who are singularly focused.
- 5 Study like crazy for the SAT. The higher your score, the better your chances of being accepted. Start studying early, like your freshman or sophomore year. You can practice math problems or memorize vocabulary words. Take practice tests early and often.
- 6 Make sure to wildly impress a few people with clout. They will be the ones who write your recommendations. If they know an admissions officer personally, even better. If they are famous or have an outstanding position in the community it will carry more impact.
- 7 Think of why you are unique and what you have to contribute to the world. That will be important in developing your essays.
- 8 Apply to as many schools as you can (there are 8 Ivy League schools). You might get rejected by 7, but get accepted by 1.
- 9 Cross your fingers, pray, or do whatever else you can think of. Sometimes life isn't fair but other times it gives you a lucky break.
