Scholarships – Indian River State College

Helping you go further, with less to worry about.
At Indian River State College, we believe that financial limitations should never stand in the way of your goals. That’s why we offer scholarships for students like you, whether you’re just getting started, returning after a break, or training for a new career.
Our scholarships recognize academic excellence, artistic talent, athletic achievement, community involvement, and more. Thanks to partnerships with local foundations and organizations, you’ll also find opportunities beyond The River.
Each year, the Indian River State College Foundation awards over $3.5 million in scholarships to students who are ready to rise.
The application process is rolling, so you can apply at any time of the year. However, we give priority to early submissions that best meet the scholarship criteria. Scholarships are distributed until all funds are awarded. For questions about Foundation scholarships, please email scholarships@irsc.edu or call 772-462-4786.
