INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Indianapolis Public Schools is launching a program to help high school seniors and their families complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
In the past, the FAFSA was optional. Now, it’s required for all Indiana high school seniors.
IPS says its FAFSA Family Filing Nights will “demystify the financial aid application process and ensure that every student has access to the resources needed to pursue their higher education dreams.”
FAFSA Family Filing Nights started earlier this month and will run through early April. The FAFSA application deadline is April 15.
Families will need an FAFSA login ID to take part in the event. Click here to create an account.
