Programs: Student scholarship and financial aid support - indiana university undergraduate and graduate students received more than $46. 5 million in scholarships, fellowships, loans and awards from private gift support. Students received scholarship support across all programs and units of the university. With the university seeing record enrollment numbers, private gift support is critical to ensuring that all willing students are able to explore their educational opportunities, experience college life, and efficiently manage tuition costs and debt loads. In 2017, approximately 11,000 scholarships supporting university students were funded by private gift support. (see schedule o; page 61 for additional discussion)iuf emphasizes and incentivizes philanthropic support of scholarships. Matching funds provided for donor gifts of $50,000 or more, incentivize giving to endowed scholarships and fellowships. Iu and iuf development officers engage prospects with regard to the financial needs of students and are educated about student financial needs. Approximately 3,750 endowed scholarships and fellowships have been newly established through iu's bicentennial campaign match as of 12/31/2017.

During 2017, the number of endowed faculty positions (chairs, professorships and fellowships) increased to more than 600.
