eligibility requirements for all full-time state grants and
scholarships:
- You must show financial need according to program rules;
- Your FAFSA must be received by the federal processor by March
10, and be error-free by May 15, each and every year;
- You-and your parent(s), if you are a dependent student-must be
legal residents of Indiana and remain so during the academic year;
and
- You must be an undergraduate working on an associate or first
bachelor degree, maintain satisfactory academic progress, not be in
default or overpayment, and meet the specific requirements of your
chosen college. If you are classified as being in some professional
degree programs (veterinary medicine, pharmacy, optometry,
accounting and so on), you are no longer eligible for state
aid.
- You must be full-time (12 or more hours per semester at census)
and remain full-time through the first four weeks of
classes or Butler's refund period, whichever is shorter,
to qualify for the full amount of these grants. Changes in
enrollment status during the first four weeks of classes may result
in full cancellation of the state grants. Contact the
Office of Financial Aid for term specific dates
and before making changes to your enrollment
status.
We strongly encourage students to create an eStudent account to
monitor their application status. For more information visit the State Student Assistance Commission
