FAFSA application deadline is April 15

As the end of the academic year approaches, many graduating high school students are preparing to continue their education through various programs, whether it be a certificate, associate or bachelor’s degree. Financial aid can play a crucial role in making these opportunities more accessible, and a key resource available is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

To ensure you don’t miss out on state and federal assistance, I encourage students to submit their FAFSA application before the April 15 deadline. Completing the FAFSA is required for accessing federal grants, scholarships and student loans at the majority of educational institutions, including colleges, universities and vocational schools nationwide.

If parents or students have any questions or issues while completing the FAFSA, Learn More Indiana offers support by connecting them to their regional outreach coordinator. These experts are available to assist with FAFSA questions, financial aid concerns and other educational matters. Find your coordinator and contact information here.
