INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has extended the filing deadline for the 2022-2023 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to April 18. The state’s original deadline of April 15 is a state holiday and state offices will be closed. Families and students should submit the form at FAFSA.gov as soon as possible to ensure maximum financial aid consideration.
The federal form must be completed to be eligible for most financial aid. State assistance programs require students to have a current FAFSA on file in order to maintain their scholarship and grant funding.
The overall FAFSA filing rate as of March 18 is down 15.2% from the same date in 2021. Each year, Hoosiers who don’t file the FAFSA miss out on millions in financial aid, including $65 million for the class of 2021.
