Additional Info
The IU Graduate School Indianapolis serves as the central hub for graduate and professional education at IU Indianapolis. Our mission is to advocate for all aspects of graduate education while supporting students as they journey to, into, and through their programs. We provide structure and leadership to ensure that every graduate student has access to a high-quality academic environment.
Gifts to this fund provide broad, flexible support for the Graduate School, helping us deliver on our mission to keep students at the center of everything we do. Your financial investment allows the Graduate School to maintain essential services, introduce new initiatives, and respond to student needs throughout the academic year. These include reviewing and admitting applications, monitoring student progress, and ensuring that degree requirements are met for a wide range of programs. We also guide students through thesis and dissertation submissions, English for Academic Purposes (EAP) compliance, and many other administrative milestones.
Beyond academics, the Graduate School offers a range of programs designed to build professional skills and community. Gifts to this fund can help sustain programs like:
- Preparing Future Faculty and Professionals (PFFP)
- The Graduate Mentoring Center (GMC)
- Getting You into IU Indianapolis (GU2IUI)
- Graduate writing groups
- The Graduate Parent Network
Your generosity can also help us recruit prospective students at national and regional events and welcome them with resources and support systems that ease their transition into graduate life. From the first application to the final degree audit, your gift helps the Graduate School create a strong foundation for student success. Whether it’s through mentoring, programming, or behind-the-scenes encouragement, your contribution ensures that IU graduate students feel prepared, connected, and valued throughout their academic journey.
