Outside Scholarships
We encourage students and families to look in their communities to tap into local businesses, civic organizations, religious organizations, banks and other groups the student has a relationship with to assist with the scholarship search. Students should also speak with their high school guidance counselors for more information.
The Office of Financial aid does not post individual outside scholarship requests assuming most we have received will be available on the sites listed in this section.
Students can report outside scholarships they receive under report/view outside awards in DataVU. Scholarship funds can be mailed to:
Valparaiso University
Office of Student Accounts
1700 Chapel Drive
Valparaiso, IN 46383
Outside scholarship funds will be applied to the student account once the check or funds are received and processed by the Office of Student Accounts.

Estimate Your Cost
The Net Price Calculator helps prospective students and families estimate the cost of attending Valparaiso University after grants and scholarships. Based on recent student award data, it provides an estimate of financial aid and remaining costs to help families plan ahead.
These estimates are not guarantees of aid, and students must still complete all admissions and financial aid requirements by the appropriate deadlines. Families with unusual financial circumstances are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid for assistance.
