Northeast Indiana Students Can Graduate College With Less Debt

FORT WAYNE – Questa Education Foundation announced the Traditional Scholars Program application is now open online.
If you’re a high school senior or current college freshman planning to attend an Indiana college or university in the fall of 2025, this could be the key to unlocking a more affordable college education, according to a provided news release.
This program offers a powerful solution to overcome financial barriers, allowing Northeast Indiana students to borrow up to $5,000 per year (up to $20,000 for a four-year degree). It’s a forgivable loan, meaning students who earn their degree and choose to live and work in Northeast Indiana can receive up to 75% of their loan forgiven.
Here’s how it works:
• 50% of the Questa loan is forgiven if you live and work in Northeast Indiana for five years after graduation.
• Students graduating from one of Questa’s 12 regional partner schools can earn an additional 25% loan forgiveness at graduation.
That means less debt and more financial freedom to focus on your future.
Questa Scholar Programs are different because they support students pursuing certificates, associate degrees, or bachelor's degrees from an Indiana college or university. It’s more than financial aid. By encouraging graduates to stay local, the program helps build a skilled workforce right here in our community, stated the release.
