Financial Aid
The Office of Student Financial Assistance, Franklin Hall 208, processes scholarships, grants, and loans for students attending the Bloomington campus. Any of these sources of financial assistance must be first used to pay instructional fees, housing costs, and other University charges at the time a student completes the registration process.
Limited financial assistance is available for summer sessions. To qualify for these funds, students must be enrolled in the appropriate number of credit hours. Additional information regarding the number of credit hours needed to qualify for financial aid may be obtained by visiting the Web at www.indiana.edu/~sfa. Students completing less than the requisite credit hours may have their financial aid reduced or cancelled for subsequent enrollment periods.
The 2009-2010 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and any required supplemental forms, must be submitted in order to determine financial aid eligibility. Students must also complete the Summer Aid Application to apply for summer financial aid. The Summer Aid Application is available on the Web at www.indiana.edu/~sfa. Additional information regarding application deadlines can be obtained by visiting the Web at www.indiana.edu/~sfa.
Recipients who receive federal financial aid are expected to attend classes and maintain regular progress towards their degree. Both class attendance and progress are periodically monitored.
General information on the financial assistance available to students enrolled may be obtained by visiting the Web at www.indiana.edu/~sfa. Students with specific questions concerning financial assistance may contact the office in Franklin Hall, Room 208 or visit www.onestart.iu.edu to check on the status of specific awards.
