The financial aid awards on your Financial Aid Notification (FAN) aren’t the only resources available to cover your expenses at IUPUI. Scholarships, employment, and other opportunities can help you maximize your financial aid package and reduce your overall costs. Learn more about these options.
Alternate funding
Scholarships
Scholarships are gift aid that do not have to be paid back. They can come from your school or external sources, like businesses or community organizations. Visit our scholarships page for more information about external scholarship options.
Student employment
Not only can working during college help you earn money to cover your costs, it can also help you develop your career skills through internships or employment in one of the Midwest’s largest cities. Our Office of Student Employment can help you learn more about employment opportunities available to you.
Parent loans
The federal government offers loans to parents of dependent college students. The parent is the borrower, and these loans can pay the remainder of the student’s costs not covered by other financial aid. Visit our page on Parent PLUS Loans to learn more.
Private loans
Many private banks, credit agencies, and other lenders offer loans to help you pursue your education. Your loan terms and interest rate will usually be based on your creditworthiness (or the creditworthiness of your cosigner). Visit our private loans page to learn more.
