Everyone’s financial situation is different. Most students qualify for some form of financial aid. Whether you come from a military family, have stellar grades, or demonstrate financial need, there are loans, grants, and scholarships that are designed to help you achieve your goals.
Most financial aid is awarded on the basis of "need," or the gap between a student’s cost of attendance and the "expected family contribution."
Financial aid is money to help pay for college or career school. Whether your goal is finding a career after graduation or continuing on to a four-year university, getting financial aid can help you pay for college now and finish with little to no debt or a more manageable payment plan. Financial aid includes scholarships, grants, work-study, and loans—all of which help make college more affordable.
Attending college can be a big financial decision for you and your family. Finding financial aid can seem overwhelming when you're trying to get ready for college. Ivy Tech's financial aid advisors are here to help you and your family get the money you need to pay for your education.
