The FAFSA is an important form used nationwide to determine incoming college students’ eligibility for scholarships, grants, work-study, or loans. Completing it is your first step in getting financial aid for college. Once you fill in your household’s financial information in the form, IU will use it to determine your financial award eligibility and prepare your financial award notification.
For the best chance of receiving maximum financial aid, it’s a good idea to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible during your senior year of high school. Students can reach out to their counselor for assistance.
