| Financial Aid Application Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to apply for financial aid. Applications are available from the Financial Aid Office. Please allow six to eight weeks for processing of the FAFSA. You may also apply over the Internet at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students applying for financial aid must also have applied for admissions, submitted a high school transcript or GED scores and have completed the Asset or Compass evaluation. It is important to remember that deadlines and priority dates are very important in financial aid!
Application Procedures for Financial Aid
Application forms are available in the financial aid office at all Ivy Tech campuses. Because application procedures, deadlines, eligibility regulations and refund policies vary with different types of student aid programs, interested students are encouraged to contact the financial aid office at their earliest opportunity. Students should allow six to eight weeks for processing most financial aid applications. Students are encouraged to apply for assistance at any time. In general, the fall semester marks the beginning of the financial aid award year.
Financial Aid Appeals
Schedule a conference with the manager of financial aid to discuss and resolve the issue. If Step 1 is unsatisfactory, schedule a consultation with the Dean of Student Affairs. If Step 2 is unsatisfactory, schedule a conference with the Student Status Committee. This committee will make a recommendation to the chief administrative officer to resolve the issue.
