Most academic advisors become involved with student recruitment – not only by serving in official recruiting roles but also through informal, individual contacts with prospective students and their parents.

Undergraduate Admissions
For information about admission requirements and for online access to the Purdue application, go to the Office of Admissions homepage.

Financial Aid and Scholarships
Purdue applicants may fill out a preliminary financial aid estimate worksheet when they file their applications. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) enables students to apply for all aid programs from the federal government, the student’s home state, and Purdue University on a single document. Students should contact the Division of Financial Aid for complete information. Also see the Financial Advising page on this Web site.

Purdue Statistics and Information
The Data Digest and Enrollment Management provide all kinds of statistical information that you may need to answer parents’ and prospective students’ questions about Purdue.

Recruitment Programs
Each school assigns one person to the recruiting function. These people meet regularly as the Purdue Recruitment Council, convened by the Office of Admissions. Many schools also sponsor "ambassador" programs, groups of current students who assist with recruiting. Click here to see a timeline of Office of Admissions recruitment programs.

Many schools have Web pages specifically for prospective students interested in their programs:

Agriculture, Consumer and Family Science, Education, Engineering, Liberal Arts, Management, Nursing, Pharmacy, Undergraduate Studies Program, Veterinary Medicine
