IU SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The Groups Scholars Program provides specially selected students with information, support, and guidance to help them excel in the classroom and beyond. We are here every step of the way--from the time they complete their application to attend IU until they accept their diploma on graduation day.
Eligible students are the first in their family to attend college with limited financial resources from all racial and economic backgrounds.
History
The Groups Scholars program was first established as “Groups” in 1968 to address low college attendance rates among first-generation, low-income, and physically challenged students at Indiana University. Funded by the Higher Education Act of 1965, and supported by the University’s strong commitment of additional resources and services, the Groups Scholars Program admits more than 200 students yearly, and has an alumni roster of close to 11,000 individuals. The program is now fully funded by Indiana University, and is a part of Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs (DEMA).

Shelby County Youth Assistance Program
The Shelby County Youth Assistance Program is a voluntary program for children and their families, focusing on preventative services. Children will be referred by school counselors, law enforcement, or other agencies to receive prevention services rather than discipline or adjudication. Youth are evaluated and referred for services based on eligibility and need. Inclusive criteria includes Shelby County residency, between ages 3 and 17 at the time of referral, and determination of “at risk” by being:
at risk of becoming involved in a juvenile proceeding
at risk of being suspended or expelled from school
at risk of dropping out of school
previously children in need of services and who are in need of ongoing supervision and assistance
have been victims of domestic violence.
If you would like your student to be a part of this program, please contact their school counselor for a referral.
Covering Kids & Families Health Insurance Assistance
Covering Kids and Families (CKF) is an outreach program designed specifically to assist families with completing paperwork required for Hoosier Healthwise and Healthy Indiana Plan.
Our goal is to ensure that all families have access to affordable healthcare. CKF partners with schools, hospitals, clinics and various other community programs to assist children and families with their health insurance needs. Community outreach workers are assigned to areas within Marion County and the seven surrounding counties (Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Morgan and Shelby).
Families United for Support and Encouragement (FUSE)
FUSE provides information, resources and support to Indiana families raising children with special needs. When families first learn that their child has a disability or a special health care need, they often don’t know where to turn. FUSE serves as a handbook that guides families to information and resources that make the challenge of parenting a child with special needs a little easier. They offer training sessions, Q&A meetings, and seasonal social functions, so families have a variety of ways to get involved. Families can participate in any of those ways, or they can just receive the newsletter to stay on top of current disability news and information.
