Need financial support?

We understand that the cost of a degree can be intimidating, or even could prevent you from considering a degree. IU Kokomo and the School of Education offer resources for students in need of financial support, including scholarships.

Transition to Teaching Scholarships

The Transition to Teaching Scholarship provides students interested in pursuing a career in education the opportunity to earn a one-time, non-renewable scholarship of up to $10,000. In exchange, students agree to teach for five years at an eligible Indiana school or repay the prorated scholarship amount.
