Indian Hills alumnus Tom Arnold awards two scholarships to Indian Hills students each
year. The scholarships award tuition, fees, required books, and required supply costs
for one year (three terms). In addition, if the winners are students residing in the
dormitories, an average of room and board costs will be included as part of the scholarship
award.
To be eligible for the scholarships, you must compose a brief written piece (600-1,200 words) on this year's subject theme. An Indian Hills faculty committee will screen initial entries and Tom Arnold will choose the final selections himself.
