Application for student financial aid is made by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at www.fafsa.ed.gov and having the information sent to IU Bloomington at School Code 001809. Apply between January 1 and March 1 each year for the academic year beginning in late August. The March 1 date is an actual "deadline" for Indiana state grants and a "priority date" for other types of federal aid. If you file after March 1, you will still be considered for Pell Grant and Federal Direct Loans, but you may miss out on other valuable financial aid opportunities.
The IU Office of Student Financial Assistance is located in Room 208, Franklin Hall, Bloomington, IN 47405; (812) 855-0321; e-mail rsvposfa@indiana.edu; Web page: www.indiana.edu/~sfa.
