Part-Time Program Support Specialist, 21st Century Scholars

21ST CENT SCHOLARS (BL-TFSS-IUBLA)

Founded in 1995, the IU 21st Century Scholars Program (IUB21CS), administered by the Office of Student Life, is the oldest and largest student support services department in the State of Indiana. The IUB21CS provide financial and academic resources to support, retain, and graduate thousands of 21st Century Scholars recipients at Indiana University Bloomington (IUB).

The Program Support Specialist works in close collaboration with the Director and Assistant Director for the 21st Century Scholars Program. They provide programmatic support for scholarship students that are from low-and-limited income backgrounds and by definition an underrepresented student population.
