The Arthur Mirsky Scholarship Program
The IU Indianapolis Senior Academy sponsors three scholarships for study at the university under the title of the IU Indianapolis Arthur Mirsky Scholarship Program. The scholarship Program was set in motion with a generous donation from a geology professor at IU Indianapolis, Art Mirsky, and his wife. The first three scholarships were given in 2003. Additional funds have been added over the years by gifts from Senior Academy members and others designated to the scholarship fund held by the Indiana University Foundation.
