EGTI is happy to provide scholarship information to students supported by organizations that have historically provided financial assistance to individuals with disabilities who are seeking postsecondary educational opportunities. Information about these opportunities can be found here or can be found below.
Additionally, The Arc of Indiana is continually seeking funds that would provide financial support to individuals who are interested in attending EGTI. When funds are available, the availability of funds will be publicized. Eligibility criteria, scholarship structure and design, and timelines for each scholarship will be defined and available upon request.
For additional information or specific questions regarding scholarship opportunities, please contact EGTI staff directly.
