An important deadline looms for Indiana students hoping to receive financial aid for college. Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid - or the FAFSA - by midnight Tues. March 10, 2015. Over $300 million in state financial aid for college is available this year for Indiana students who qualify.
Every high school senior—whether they believe they qualify for needs-based funding or not—should complete the FAFSA. Beyond determining state and federal financial aid, colleges use information from the FAFSA to determine their scholarship awards.
Furthermore, every college student should complete the FAFSA each year they are enrolled in college to continue receiving financial aid and scholarships.
Students, parents and educators can submit FAFSA-related questions via phone at 1-800-992-2076, email (fafsa@learnmore.org), Twitter (@learnmorein) or Facebook (facebook.com/learnmorein).
