Important
Information for 2006-07 Applicants
If you will be attending Indiana University Northwest
for the 2006-2007 academic year and are interested in
receiving financial aid, you will need to complete and
submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). The FAFSA is the core document necessary to
apply for all types of student financial aid available
through the state and federal governments as well as
the university. This application must be completed each
year that you intend to apply for financial aid. The
FAFSA for 2006-2007 will be available beginning on January
1, 2006. Although this application may be filed anytime
during the academic year, it is important to file as
early as possible to prevent delays in receiving your
financial aid. Additionally, the State of Indiana, through
the State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana (SSACI),
has a very early deadline date to be considered for
the Frank O'Bannon Grant, formerly the Indiana Higher
Education Grant, and the 21 st Century Scholars Program.
The Federal processor must receive the application by
March 10, 2006. Each year many students miss this deadline
and miss the opportunity to receive additional grant
aid.
The easiest method of submitting the FAFSA is through
the Department of Education's website at www.fafsa.ed.gov
. A link is also available on the Financial Aid
page of the Indiana University Northwest website at
www.iun.edu/~finaidnw/
. If you have never completed the application in
the past, you should first apply for a pin number at
www.pin.ed.gov .
You can also request a duplicate pin number at that
website. You should also print the 2006-2007 pre-application
worksheet before you complete the application on the
web.
For the upcoming year, paper renewal applications will
not be sent to students that completed the FAFSA for
2005-2006. Instead, students will receive notification
through an e-mail or postcard reminding them to file
the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov
for the 2006-2007 academic year. If your mailing
address or e-mail address has changed since you filed
the application for 2005-2006, you should update that
information so as not to miss any important announcements
from the Department of Education.
