Earning a college degree is one of the most important investments you will make in your life.
At Indiana Wesleyan, we realize that selecting the right college is not just about finding the best price. We encourage students and families to look at overall fit when making a college choice. However, we do understand the importance of out-of-pocket cost and this is why our financial aid team works individually with each student as they explore investing in an exceptional Christian education from Indiana Wesleyan University.

To get started, complete the steps below to be considered for federal grant and student loan eligibility. You may then explore additional types of aid if supplementary funds are needed.
Any student, regardless of income, who wants to be considered for federal, state, and school financial aid programs should file the FAFSA. This includes grants, scholarships, and loans.
If you have not already done so, you must create a Federal Student Aid (FSA) username and password to log in.
Take some time to browse the various scholarships, grants, and other sources of aid that you may qualify for as an Indiana Wesleyan student.
Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is one of the first steps to discovering the best aid options available to making a Christian Education at IWU affordable.
The FAFSA helps determine what scholarships and grants a student may qualify for to help fund their education.
The FAFSA is an online form used by colleges to determine how much financial aid you're eligible to receive, which could include grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans.
Completing the online FAFSA form usually takes about one hour.
You must apply for aid every year, but with the right information in hand, it's easy.
Quite simply, every student wishing to receive financial aid should fill out the FAFSA form online.
We recommend that any student, regardless of income, who wants to be considered for federal, state, and school financial aid programs start their aid journey by completing the FAFSA form online.
The FSA ID is a secure electronic signature. The FSA ID is used to sign the FAFSA, and to also access other secure federal aid websites. Student FAFSA filers, as well as one parent of students who must report parental data on their FAFSA, need their own unique FSA ID.
Carefully follow the instructions when creating or editing your FSA ID. Each FSA ID must be unique; thus, a different email address must be used when each family member creates their own FSA ID.
When you are unsure of how to answer a question on the FAFSA, the Federal Student Aid website has a lot of great resources.
