Where can my son or daughter and I find information about applying for financial aid and scholarships?
There are many resources on the web to find information about applying for financial aid and scholarships. The first step in receiving any financial aid is to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. You are able to list up to six schools you would like the federal processor to send your child’s information to. The IUPUI school code is 001813. Once your son or daughter has been admitted and the IUPUI Office of Student Financial Aid Services receives the FAFSA information, you will receive an award notification letter letting you know how much aid (including grants, loans, and work study monies) your son or daughter is eligible for. Two great places to start looking for more information are the websites for the Office of Student Financial Aid Services and the Office of Student Scholarships. Also,www.students.gov has a great deal of information about paying for college and FastWeb is a great free scholarship search engi
