Indiana students to get free FAFSA filing help Feb. 25

Prior to attending the event, new dependent student filers and at least one parent should set up their Federal Student Aid account username and password (FSA-ID) by going to https://studentaid.gov/ and clicking on “Create Account” in the top right.

The 2024-25 FAFSA will collect 2022 tax information. Each family member (parent(s)/student/spouse) must now give consent for FAFSA to retrieve their IRS tax data via the new Direct Data Exchange. Parents should also bring their 2022 IRS tax return, W-2 forms, and current bank statements and investment information for any manual data entries. Students who worked in 2022 should bring their own 2022 IRS tax return, W-2 form, and current bank statements and investment information. Learn more about filling out the new FAFSA at https://studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/filling-out.  

Purdue’s Division of Financial Aid provides financial aid information to students and families through community outreach, via email and online at purdue.edu/dfa/. The Division of Financial Aid can be reached by calling 765-494-5050 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET or by emailing facontact@purdue.edu.
