Financial Aid Process & Timeline
Once you’ve been accepted to USF, your file will be reviewed to determine the type of Title IV aid you are eligible to receive.
The Role of FAFSA
Title IV student aid programs (including federal grants, loans, Work Study, and some scholarships) are determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which must be submitted annually. By completing the FAFSA, you will be automatically considered for a Federal Pell Grant.
Students and families can file the FAFSA as early as October 1 (using prior-prior year income, per the Department of Education. The State of Indiana deadline and USF’s preferred cut-off date for completing a FAFSA is April 15, annually.
