FAFSA<\/h1>\n \n

The first step in applying for financial aid is submitting your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The 2026-27 FAFSA is open!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

Submit your FAFSA <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The FAFSA is used to apply for federal, state and Purdue-based student-aid programs. Even if you think you may not receive need-based financial funding, it doesn\u2019t hurt to submit a FAFSA. Purdue\u2019s Federal School Code is 001825.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who submit a FAFSA prior to Purdue\u2019s April 15 priority filing date<\/strong> (this is a hard deadline for Indiana residents to be considered for state-based aid) will receive the maximum amount of consideration for financial aid. You may submit a FAFSA after April 15, but some types of aid may no longer be available.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before completing your FAFSA, you\u2019ll need to create a StudentAid.gov Account<\/a> (Username\/Password FSA-ID). If parents are helping in the aid process, make sure one of them registers for a StudentAid.gov Account<\/a> (Username\/Password) also. Students may find helpful informational booklets, brochures, videos and other resources<\/a> on the Federal Student Aid website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
