Ivy Tech participates in various types of federal and state financial aid programs which provide assistance to many students. Ivy Tech also provides financial assistance to students from its own resources. Students are encouraged to carefully explore all financial aid options at their campus.

Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be considered for any form of financial aid. Financial aid is available for both full- and part-time students regardless of age, race or sex. To qualify for financial aid, all applicable requirements must be met. For federal and state financial aid programs students must:

• Be admitted to the college as a degree or certificate seeking student enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an eligible program.
• Not be enrolled in secondary school.
• Be a U.S. Citizen or eligible noncitizen.
• Maintain satisfactory academic progress in a course of study.
• Not owe a refund to a federal grant or be in default on a student loan.
• Must have a high school diploma or a GED or score above certain ability to benefit scores on the ASSET test.
• Certain drug related convictions might also prevent eligibility.
• Males of ages 18 through 25 are required to be registered with the Selective Service System.

Students who have completed the FAFSA and submitted all required documentation will receive an award letter detailing the financial aid programs offered. Any additional documentation required for an award or instructions for receiving payment will be mailed to the student. Detailed information on all financial aid programs is available at your campus financial aid office.
