The scholars received low-interest forgivable loans that allowed them to complete their degree with less debt. The scholars will receive 50% in loan forgiveness from Questa by living and working in northeast Indiana for the next 5 years following their graduation. An additional 25% of the total loan is paid back by attending and graduating from one of the eight partner regional institutions- Indiana Tech, Ivy Tech, IPFW, University of St. Francis, Huntington University, Grace College, Manchester University, Trine University , and previously - Indiana Wesleyan. Funding for Questa Scholars comes from local and regional foundations, businesses and organizations. Local support is essential for helping increase the access to continued education and preparation for employment in our communities.
