Indiana Careers

In January of 2004 the Eli Lilly Endowment awarded the University of Notre Dame a grant to support students who are interested in living and working in the state of Indiana. This grant provided financial assistance to 54 graduating students over the next four years. In November of 2008 The Career Center again submitted a grant proposal and received a second round grant to benefit our students.

The Career Center is pleased to again offer graduating students the opportunity to apply for a year long award consisting of a monthly payment of $400.00 totaling $4,800.00 over the year. These funds are provided to support students as they “get on their feet” financially when choosing to begin their career in Indiana after graduating from Notre Dame.

Guidelines:

  • Available to all Notre Dame seniors graduating in December 2009 or May 2010
  • At the time of application seniors need not have accepted a position
  • Application deadline is March 31, 2010 with individual interviews being conducted the first week of April.
  • Selected recipients will be notified by May 1, 2010.
  • Selected recipients will have until June 30, 2010 to obtain a full-time professional position in Indiana to be guaranteed receipt of the funding. If a recipient has not obtained a full-time position by that date the opportunity may be made available to candidates on the wait-list. Required documentation and procedures for this process will be discussed at the individual appointments with the Program Director.
  • Please utilize The Career Center as a resource for your Indiana job search.
