Students need to complete a new FAFSA for each academic year. See below for a breakdown of which semesters are covered by which FAFSA and which tax return you need when applying. You will need to apply for your FAFSA for both years.

FAFSA	Semesters Covered	Tax Return Needed
2020-2021	Fall 2020	2018
	Spring 2021	2018
	Summer 2021	2018
2021-2022	Fall 2021	2019
	Spring 2022	2019
	Summer 2022	2019

To complete your FAFSA you will need three main pieces of tax and financial information.

1. Your tax return

   Since it likely you have already filed the tax return you need, you can use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to easily important your tax info into your FAFSA. (See below for more information on how to use the IRS Data Retrieval tool)

2.  Records of your untaxed income
   Untaxed income won’t apply to everyone, but includes things such child support received, interest income, and veterans non-education benefits.
    
3. Records of your current financial assets
   On the FAFSA you will asked to report the current amounts of things such as savings and checking account balances, as well as the value of any investments you may have. Investments include such things such as stocks, bonds, and any real estate that is not the home you are currently living in.

School Code
To ensure Ivy Tech receives an electronic copy of your FAFSA, include the Ivy Tech Community College school code 009917. This code is used for all Ivy Tech locations.

Parent's Info
If you are under age 24 or do not meet any of the other conditions to be an independent student, you will need your parents’ information as well as your own on your FAFSA. Click here to see the federal definition of dependency status for financial aid purposes.

When filling out your FAFSA you will need access to forms of identification such as:

Your Social Security number or Alien Registration Number

You can find the number on your Social Security card. If you don’t have access to it, and don’t know where it is, ask your parent or legal guardian or get a new or replacement Social Security card from the Social Security Administration. If you are not a U.S. citizen, but meet Federal Student Aid’s basic eligibility requirements, you’ll also need your Alien Registration number.

Your driver’s license number

If you don’t have a driver’s license, then don’t worry about this step.

An FSA ID is a username and password that you can use to log in to certain U.S. Department of Education (ED) websites. Each student, and one parent of each dependent student, will need an FSA ID to complete the FAFSA process on fafsa.gov.



Create an FSA ID today!

Note: Once you have created a FSA ID, it becomes your permanent FSA ID for use from year to year. Do not try to create a new one each year— this will cause FAFSA processing errors.

Work Study Programs

Federal or state work study programs are another way to help pay for college.

All types of work study require you to work a specific number of hours each week, and to be paid on a biweekly basis. Work study jobs can be on or off campus.
 

Federal Work Study Program

This is federal need-based employment, and the amount and position may vary. You must be enrolled at least half-time to be eligible. To get started, file the FAFSA online, and apply for Campus Work Study at your local financial aid office.
 

Employment Aid Readiness Network (EARN) Indiana

This is a state work study program for which students without a prior bachelor’s degree are

eligible, but must be Indiana residents with financial needs and enrolled full-time. EARN Indiana partners with Indiana INTERNnet to match students and employers; maximizing students’ academic success and career achievement, while helping employers find the perfect fit.
