FAFSA is Due March 10, 2010
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) may be found at www.fafsa.ed.gov Find links to the FAFSA PIN and application sites under Guidance/Financial Aid/Scholarships above!
To be considered for Indiana State Financial Assistance, the FAFSA must be received by the federal processor on or before March 10, 2010. For State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana (SSAC) state grant eligibility determination, any issues or corrections needing to be resolved on the FAFSA must be correctly resolved by May 15, 2010 for the student to remain in the state grant applicant pool.
Beginning in 2010 SSACI will no longer use paper edit letters or award letters to communicate with students applying for state grant funding. SSACI will use emails to alert students of changes that need to be made with their FAFSA or in notifying them of their state grant eligibility. However, beginning mid February 2010 it is the student’s ultimate responsibility to periodically review their state grant file on eStudent www.ssaci.in.gov/estudent, to keep abreast of any action they need to take before SSACI’s correction deadline (May 15, 2010), or to help navigate through the state grant awarding process that would keep the student if otherwise eligible from receiving state grant aid funding for college. Therefore please encourage your students to put an email address on their FAFSA, that they check their email address regularly, and to visit wwww.ssaci.in.gov/student to activate their state grant account for their review.
