INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has extended the filing deadline for the 2021 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Filing the FAFSA is an important step in the college-going process and can help families more easily meet the expense of post-secondary education. Students must have a current FAFSA on file to qualify for state and federal financial aid and merit-based scholarships.
“With over $350 million available in state financial aid, Indiana is committed to making higher education affordable for all Hoosiers,” said Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “But students and families must file the FAFSA to be eligible to access financial aid.”
There is no set date for the deadline extension and funding is released on a first-come, first-served basis. It is critical for students who did not file the FAFSA by the original deadline to do so now.
