FAFSA extends filing deadline

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has extended the filing deadline for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid to April 18.

The state’s original deadline was April 15. The deadline was extended as April 15 is a state holiday and state offices will be closed.

Students should submit the FAFSA form at FAFSA.gov as soon as possible to ensure maximum financial aid consideration.

Students must file the federal form to be eligible for most financial aid. State financial aid programs including the 21st Century Scholarship and Workforce Ready Grant require students to have a current FAFSA on file to maintain their scholarships.
