Questa Education Foundation is excited to welcome over 100 new students from across Northeast Indiana to participate in its nationally distinctive Questa Scholars program. These driven scholars join a growing community of over 600 scholars budgeted for support this year, bringing Questa’s overall number of active scholars to over 700 - the largest in the organizations’ history. These scholars are turning their college dreams into reality with Questa’s support.
This year’s incoming class includes both recent high school graduates and first-year college students who will receive funding throughout their degree programs. Questa continues to expand opportunities for learners at every stage, with additional support available for first-time and returning college students through the Contemporary Scholars program.
Questa is proud to announce the incoming 2025 Traditional Questa Scholars, who represent the next generation of talent and leadership in our region:

Each student has unique interests and will be pursuing degrees in a broad array of fields, including accounting, computer science, education, engineering, legal studies, nursing, and medical imaging. Questa Scholars plan to join the Northeast Indiana workforce after graduation, helping to build our talent pool and our community.
Questa Education Foundation offers a unique opportunity for students to receive up to 75% debt forgiveness on Questa loans through the Traditional Scholars program. Graduates who live and work in Northeast Indiana for five years are eligible for 50% loan forgiveness, with an additional 25% forgiveness for attending a regional partner school. Questa Scholar programs not only benefit scholars but also contribute to the growth of Northeast Indiana's businesses and economy by retaining local talent. Questa’s Career Scholar programs further expand these opportunities, offering fully forgivable loans while connecting students directly with local employers and career pathways in high-demand fields. Impressively, over 95% of Career Scholar graduates work for their sponsoring employer.
The Traditional Scholars program for Northeast Indiana students will reopen for applications on January 15, 2026.
