What kinds of student financial aid are available?
Because price is of a paramount importance to many students and to many of their parents, here is a thumbnail sketch of the kinds of student financial aid that may be available:
- Grants do not need to be repaid. Some are awarded based on financial need; others recognize academic ability or performance in areas such as music, or athletics. There are many scholarships sponsored by foundations, corporations, or other organizations.
- Loans must be repaid, usually starting after graduation. Many education loans feature low interest rates and generous payback schedules. The federal government sponsors a number of student loan programs, as do some private lenders and colleges themselves.
- Jobs on campus or during summer breaks provide income to offset expenses and can be important sources of experience.
State-funded programs available to Hoosier students include:
- Grants based on financial need (See http://www.state.in.us/ssaci/programs/);
- Academic performance awards, which supplement need-based aid; and
- Scholarships for special skill or need areas or particular groups of students, including (but not limited to) nursing, special education, minority teachers, or children of disabled veterans.
- Twenty-First Century Scholars Program: Provides substantial grants to students from low and moderate-income families. Students commit in the eighth grade to take courses in high school that will prepare them for a college and pledge to avoid drugs and alcohol.
- Indiana Family College Saving Plan: An innovative state program that provides significant tax benefits to families who save for their children’s education.
