In order to be eligible for state financial aid, students must complete the correct academic year's FAFSA by the deadline (April 15th annually). The exceptions to this deadline are the Adult Student Grant (FAFSA must be filed at least 5-7 days before applying), and state financial aid for military and public safety officers.
-
A student's FAFSA may have issues (known as edits) that pertain only to State of Indiana award and scholarship programs. A student should check his or her ScholarTrack account for a list of any edits that may be on the FAFSA.
Even if a student's or parent's Federal income taxes are not complete by the FAFSA filing deadline, the FAFSA should be filed on or before the appropriate FAFSA deadline using ESTIMATED tax information. -
The Commission administers State financial aid only and is not affiliated with FAFSA. For assistance with completing the FAFSA, please contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center: 1-800-4FED-AID
