Top 10 Things to Remember: • Your Indiana high school diploma matters! • Take the SAT and/or ACT before your senior year. • Make sure to look at colleges that will challenge you, not just the ones you think you can afford. • Find out early at which colleges your finances will work best…and where they will not! • Visit, visit, visit! • Apply to more than one college. • Know your admission deadlines…and beat them! • File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by March 10th of your senior year. • In a financial aid award, remember to take the federal student loan first! • Remember the “Big 3”: • Go to class every day • Work first, then play • Join a campus activity
Gathering Your Information: In order to expedite the completion of the ICCE, it is wise to have the following information handy before starting: • Parent and student tax forms (1040EZ, 1040A or 1040) and/or W-2s • Parent and student untaxed income information • Parent and student asset information • Parent business and/or farm records, if applicable *Because actual federal, state, and institutional financial aid is based on the forms and information listed above, it is important you provide the same information in order to produce accurate estimates.
A Few Reminders Before Entering the Tool: • These figures do not represent final determinations of financial assistance or a final net price from any college or university. • These figures are simply estimates to be used for informational purposes only. • The cost of attendance and available financial aid change from year to year and vary among institutions. • Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to be eligible for, and receive, federal, state, and institutional financial aid.
