Undergraduate Overview

Financial Aid & Scholarships

Types of Financial Aid

Financial aid at IUPUI is based on financial need, enrollment status, and academic progress. The Office of Student Financial Aid Services (OSFAS) administers federal, state, and university funds. Assistance is available in the form of grants, fee scholarships, loans, and part-time employment.

Eligibility

To be considered for most types of aid, students must be accepted for at least half-time enrollment at IUPUI in a degree-granting program or University College. If a student enrolls and later drops a class, the financial aid awards may be changed to the level appropriate to the new enrollment. Students should always check with a financial aid counselor before dropping classes.

How to Apply for Financial Aid

To apply for financial aid, students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a renewal FAFSA. Students are encouraged to submit FAFSA data electronically using FAFSA on the Web (www.fafsa.ed.gov). Computers are available in the Campus Center within the Office of Student Financial Aid Services, in the Enrollment Center, and in computer clusters on campus. You may obtain the FAFSA via U.S. mail by calling (317) 274-4162. The IUPUI priority deadline for filing the FAFSA is March 1. Award notificatons for new students are sent in April with continuing student award letters sent in May.
