Although you've moved, your aid doesn't. You qualify for aid separately at each school. You must complete your ISU financial aid file to allow us to calculate your eligibility for assistance here. Frank O’Bannon Grant eligible students must also contact the State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana to let them know you are transferring, so your Frank O’Bannon Grant award can be sent to the right school.

Notify your former school about your transfer

If they have scheduled aid for you for future semesters, they may need to cancel any remaining money in order for you to get aid here at ISU.

Transfer Scholarships are available

Students transferring to ISU can apply for Transfer Scholarship. The application deadlines are March 15^th for students applying for a fall semester and December 1^st for students applying for a spring semester. Students must be admitted to ISU before they can be reviewed for scholarship awards. All recipients of these scholarships are required to register for at least 12 credit hours of study on campus each term.

You can request a scholarship application be sent to you by emailing Office of Admissions at admissions@indstate.edu or by calling the office at 1-800-GO-TO-ISU.

All transfer students are awarded aid at ISU based upon freshman eligibility

This is required by our federal Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy. It lets you receive some aid on SAP probation to get you started in classes, with more aid possible after your transfer work is entered into our mainframe computer by the ISU Office of Registration and Records and evaluated. Your academic progress is reviewed by the end of your first semester here.

Loan Entrance Interviews

Once awarded student financial aid, if you accept a student loan you must complete an Entrance Interview here at ISU even if done before at another school. This can be accomplished on-line.
