The
Indiana Commission
for Higher Education has extended the filing deadline for the 2020-2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) beyond the state’s original April 15 deadline. The extension is intended to ensure as many Hoosiers as possible can access financial aid in the coming academic year in the midst of challenges presented by the coronavirus.
Students
who did not file the FAFSA before the April 15 deadline are encouraged to
submit the form at FAFSA.gov
as soon as possible. The Commission will consider students who file past the
original deadline, however, limited funding is available on a first-come basis.
The extension applies to the 21st Century Scholarship and the Frank O’Bannon Grant. There is no FAFSA deadline for Hoosiers applying for the Next Level
Jobs Workforce Ready Grant.
File
the FAFSA at FAFSA.gov.
