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.

Indiana also offers two special programs to help make college affordable:
  • 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.
