High-income families typically pay closer to sticker.
Aid for international students
Indiana University-Bloomington awarded institutional aid to 785 international undergraduates, averaging $13,865 (2025-2026 Common Data Set).

How to read these numbers
- The 2025 rate covers Indiana University-Bloomington's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
- 1170–1400 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1170, and a quarter scored above 1400.
- The table above holds 13 reported years, 2013 through 2025. Across them Indiana University-Bloomington's rate ranged from 72.2% to 85.0%, so any single year is one point inside that range.
Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
