4 What is financial aid? Financial aid can make college affordable for you. Financial aid refers to specific borrowed, given, or earned money that can be obtained from various sources to help pay for college. It is intended to make up the difference between what your family can afford to pay and what college costs. If you think you cannot afford college, think again. There is lots of aid out there. 4
5 Types of Financial Aid There are two types of financial aid. Gift Aid Grants Scholarships Self-help Aid Work-Study Loans These funds may be merit-based, need-based, or non need-based. 5
6 Sources of Financial Aid Financial aid comes from a variety of sources. Federal Government State Government College (Institutional Aid) Outside/ Private Sources 6

19 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) What is a FAFSA? It is the first step in the financial aid process. A FAFSA is used to apply for state and federal financial aid programs. In addition, some colleges use it to award institutional aid. The application is available at no fee. Three Ways to Access a FAFSA Paper FAFSA FAFSA on the Web.pdf FAFSA FED-AID
20 When to Apply for the Academic Year Important Dates FAFSA January 1, 2015 (First date to submit FAFSA) College Dates vary by college (Check with each college) State Grants Filing deadline: March 10, 2015 Correction deadline: May 15,
21 Personal Identification Number (PIN) A PIN, along with other identifiers, gives Internet access to information on the Federal Student Aid systems. Serves as an electronic signature and provides access to personal records Go to Option 1: Create a four-digit PIN Option 2: Have the site create PIN PIN is conditional until relevant information is verified with the Social Security Administration (1-3 days) PIN will not expire at the end of the year PIN Checklist Social Security Number Last Name First Name Middle Initial Date of Birth Street Address address (optional) Parents and students need a pin to use the FAFSA on the Web. 21
22 Completing the FAFSA What information is needed? Social Security Number. Be sure that it is correct. Records of income, such as income earned from work and business, child support paid or received, and any other untaxed income. If available, refer to the W-2 Forms and the Federal Income Tax Return IRS 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. Information about assets, such as savings, certificates of deposit, stock options, bonds, 529 plans and other college savings programs, and investment real estate, business, and farm. Driver s license number, if the student has one. Alien Registration Number, if not a U.S. citizen. NOTES: Parental information is required unless a student is at least 24 years of age or meets the criteria for filing as an independent student as described on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Refer to A student must report his or her income and assets and those of the parents (if a dependent student) or spouse (if married). Use income records for the year prior to the academic year for which a student is applying: for instance, if filling the FAFSA, refer to 2012 tax information. 22
23 Steps 1 and 2 (In Order of the Online of the FAFSA) Student Demographics Enter your name exactly as shown on your social security card Address The state will only communicate by this address School Selection Add the school codes of ALL the schools you are interested in attending The State of IN will calculate your state grant eligibility only for the FIRST eligible Indiana college you list on your FAFSA 23
24 Dependency Status Steps 3 and 4 Most of these questions will prompt your school to request documentation if you answer yes. Parent Demographics You will need to answer these if all the answers to the dependency questions are no. Whose Information to Report Usually the parents you physically live with, including stepparents Check with your school if you have questions. 24
25 Step 5 Financial Information Parent and Student AGI and Wages Taxes paid NOT taxes withheld Savings, Investments, Assets Other income and benefits Some of these questions actually protect your money from being counted against you. Be honest! 25
26 IRS Data Retrieval Tool How it Works 26
27 Sign and Submit Make sure your parent signs if you are dependent The parent who signs should be the parent whose household is reported Be sure your parent s name and pin match (do not put your mom s name but use your dad s pin number) Step 6 27

Keep a copy of everything you submit You must reapply every year 28
