If you’re awarded a Cox Scholarship, you can receive gift aid from institutional funds (IU merit scholarships, grants, and fee remissions) totaling no more than the official cost of attendance for Indiana University Bloomington.

Please note that Cox Scholarship amounts will be reduced to ensure that your individual aid package does not exceed the official cost of attendance for IU Bloomington. External scholarships and entitlements from federal and state funds can be awarded regardless of your total aid package.

If you’re awarded a Cox Legacy Scholarship, you can find more information about financial support here. 

Cox Legacy Scholarships that are awarded to students as incoming freshmen are renewable for a total of four years (eight semesters) of undergraduate study, not including summer sessions, or until the student earns their first baccalaureate degree.

Cox Legacy Scholarships that are awarded to current students at IU Bloomington are renewable for a total of three years (six semesters of undergraduate study), not including summer sessions, or until the student earns their first baccalaureate degree

In order to renew your scholarships, you must meet the following requirements:

• Be enrolled full time (12 or more credit hours) as a degree-seeking student on the Bloomington campus; waitlisted courses do not count toward official enrollment.
• Maintain a cumulative program GPA of 3.0 at IU.
• Successfully work in your on-campus position during your entire enrollment at Indiana University.

If you’re the recipient of a Cox Legacy Scholarship and you choose to attend another college or university (including an IU campus other than Bloomington), or withdraw from IU, the scholarship is forfeited.
