brighter Think: Mind-expanding classes. Eye-opening experiences. And plenty of opportunities to launch your future sky high.
BLUE Turn your gray matter
You’ve had a taste of college life, and now you’re ready for more. You could be transferring from a community college or an institution that just didn’t quite fit.
Either way, you have a strong sense of determination and the work ethic to cross the finish line. You’re ready to get down to business, but of course, you’d like to have some fun along the way. AT STATE, YOU’LL FIT RIGHT IN, LIKE YOU’VE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG.

Don’t be late— time is money Blue is for an affordable higher education. And we’re for empowering you to find all the help you can get to pay for that education. It starts with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). File your FAFSA as soon as October 1 so we can process your award early. When aid is granted, the funds are typically applied to your student account about ten days before the start of the term. If you file late or forget to file, it can mean delays in processing. Indiana residents must meet the state deadline of April 15, 2019 to be considered for state aid. When filing, enter Indiana State’s federal school code 001807. For a preliminary estimate of cost and eligibility, we encourage you to use our Net Price Calculator. We’ve made the process easy by linking you directly to the Net Price Calculator and FAFSA at indstate.edu/finaid
Extending the (Money) Branch The Branch is State’s online scholarship system that allows you to browse scholarship opportunities and matches you with those that are a good fit for your academic ambitions and qualifications—including those just for transfer students. This easy-to-use database links you to more information on available scholarships and outlines the award amount and the deadline to apply.
