Your experts on call: The Office of Student Financial Aid.

It’s personal with us—whether it’s in person, over the phone, or online.

A large staff works full-time in Indiana State’s Office of Student Financial Aid. Our goal is to make sure every incoming family is informed and assisted throughout the aid application process.

Once you’ve applied for financial aid at State, you’ll gain access to your own, fully secure MyISU Portal. Through this personal online account and message board, you’ll be able to view the changing status of your Indiana State relationship as federal and school aid is estimated, then awarded, and finally, applied to your account.

Here is what our Financial Aid Staff wants you to know right away: • In most cases, you can speak with a Financial Aid counselor on your first visit to the John W. Moore Welcome Center. • You should go through the Financial Aid process, no matter what you believe about your current eligibility. Did you know that virtually every enrolled student can qualify for a federal loan? • If you stay in touch with us, we’ll leave no stone unturned in our efforts to help you secure money for college.

We’ll keep you posted. Our financial aid counselors will post updates to alert you when your aid status changes, when more information is needed, or a deadline is approaching.

It all adds up! Some students may qualify for more than one scholarship. Guess what? At State, you don’t have to accept only one offer. It’s our priority to help you gain access to an affordable, high-quality education. While you can’t accept more scholarship money than the cost of attendance, you can combine smaller awards to make a bigger difference. Be sure to visit  indstate. edu/scholarships/combining-menu.htm to learn about combining scholarships at Indiana State.

Yes! We have payment plans. Sure. Your parents can write a great big check for tuition at the start of each semester. But they don’t have to. They may also choose to spread the year’s costs out by making ten equal monthly payments; or paying agreed-upon amounts at agreed-upon times.  It’s all explained here: indstate.edu/express/paymentplans.htm
