Student Success

An IU education changes lives

Students are at the heart of Indiana University’s mission.

It’s our privilege and responsibility to support the budding leaders, thinkers, and problem-solvers who will shape the brighter future that we all seek. Thank you for joining us in this pursuit and for so generously supporting IU students and their success.

KEY program

IU Kokomo’s KEY program enables learning through travel, leadership, and other opportunities, which are free or reduced cost thanks to donors.

Entrepreneurship is for anyone who wants to start their own way of living, whether that’s starting your own art studio, bakery or medical practice—all those people are entrepreneurs.
