Donations are applied to...
The ND Club of Indianapolis Scholarship Fund! Established in 1937, the scholarship is a four-year award given to local students who demonstrate financial need. The fund was opened with only $400, but has grown into an endowment valued at $2.5 million today. Since 1983, over 250 students have received the award, and we are proud to support a record 42 students with over $150,000 in scholarship this year.
Notre Dame Club of Indianapolis
We are excited to announce our participation in Notre Dame Day! For those of you unfamiliar with the iNDy Club, want to know why you should vote for us? BECAUSE... 1) We are one of the oldest and largest ND alumni clubs in the country. 2) We can't get enough of ND Athletics! Only a day trip from campus, we love hosting sporting events like the Crossroads Classic at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Shamrock Series game at Lucas Oil Stadium, and ND baseball at Victory Field. 3) We are a proud participant in ND community service programs like Urban Plunge, Echo: Faith Formation Leadership, and ACE Academies AND 4) The funds we raise through ND Day go directly to our scholarship fund, which helps dozens of students across Central Indiana each year. A vote for iNDy is a vote for all that the ND experience has to offer: from financial aid to athletics to community outreach to bringing our alumni together to celebrate what makes us the Fighting Irish!
Why are donations necessary?
According to a 2014 study by UCLA, "rising college costs are weighing more heavily on students, with increasing numbers rejecting their first choice and opting instead for the school offering a solid financial aid package." At the ND Club of Indianapolis, we want to make sure that none of our talented students have to give up on their ND dream because we are unable to assist them.
