INDIANAPOLIS The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has extended the deadline for prospective college students to submit FAFSA forms.
Applications were initially due April 15, but the state has pushed the deadline back and is encouraging students to fill out the form as soon as possible. Free student aid is given away on a first-come basis. With over $350 million available in state financial aid each year, Indiana is committed to making postsecondary education affordable for all Hoosiers, said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. But students and families must file the FAFSA for consideration and by extending the deadline, we can make sure more Hoosiers can access financial aid.

Indiana’s historically strong fiscal health gives us an advantage over many states, including the ability to maintain a forward-looking viewpoint even as we encounter challenges no one saw coming.
When it comes to funding higher education, Indiana has adopted a similarly future-focused approach.
For nearly two decades, state policymakers have prioritized paying for what Indiana values most by utilizing a portion of the state’s higher education budget for outcomes-based funding. For the years 2020-21, that s 7% of the $4.1 billion that makes up the operating budgets of all Indiana public institutions of higher learning.
