The State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana
(SSACI) is one of the top-rated state financial aid agencies in
the country. Since 1965 its mission has been
- to make college affordable with need-based student grants;
- to allow choice by granting awards to students attending
public, independent & proprietary colleges; and
- to increase college preparation by giving additional grants
to students graduating from high school with Core 40 and Academic
Honors Diplomas and to 21st Century Scholar
SSACI accomplishes its mission with:
- Grant and Scholarship Programs for full-time and part-time
college students;
- Early Intervention programs for Twenty-first Century Scholars;
- Research to better understand the needs of Hoosier students
and families; and
- Technology to make the delivery of awards as simple as possible
for students and colleges.
In addition to making awards, SSACI promotes awareness
of Indiana financial assistance programs through its World Wide
Web site, guidance counselor workshops, financial aid nights, college
fairs, community forums and other statewide events such as College
Goal Sunday.
The FAFSA is the core document
necessary to apply for all types of student financial aid available
through the state and federal governments as well as the colleges
and universities. The completed FAFSA
must be returned to the federal government and only the federal
government. Do not send a copy to SSACI or your college.
