High Quality Shouldn't Mean a High Price
At IU South Bend we strive to make a high-quality education affordable by offering grants, scholarships, loans and work-study to our undergraduate students. Each year the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships processes more than $45 million in student aid.
Scholarships
In addition to the need-based aid programs, we also offer more than 200 merit-based scholarships every year. For more information about the Online Scholarship application, visit

Financial Aid
IU South Bend offers federal, state, and institutional aid to degree-seeking students. Eighty percent of students receive grant or scholarship aid and 76 percent receive low-interest loans to help finance their education. Students who qualify can use work-study to find jobs on and off campus to earn spending cash. Most aid is based on need as determined by the FreeApplication for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
To receive priority consideration for need-based aid the FAFSA should be filed by APRIL 15.
The application is available at FAFSA.
