Cost & Financial Aid

The cost of attending IUPUI can be a significant factor in the decision to apply or not apply to a school. This guide will help you understand how much it costs to attend IUPUI and how you can use financial aid to help pay for your education.

Undergraduate Financial Aid

The following is a list of the types of financial aid available to undergraduate students at IUPUI:

Scholarships are awards that do not have to be repaid, and they can be awarded based on academic performance, extracurricular activities, leadership qualities or other factors.
Grants are funds given to students by the government or private organizations. Grant money must not be repaid but used toward educational expenses such as tuition/fees and books/supplies.
Work Study (WSP) allows you to earn money while completing your degree by working part-time on campus in an eligible job related to your major field. You must apply for WSP through Student Employment Services at least once each semester that you want this type of financial aid available for use during that term; however, some jobs may still be available even after all applications close if we don’t get enough applicants for them yet! It’s best to start immediately because these positions are up quickly! You can learn more about how this process works here: [link]

Graduate Financial Aid

Graduate Financial Aid is available for students enrolled in a graduate degree program. Financial aid is available for full-time and part-time students. Graduate students may be eligible to receive Federal Perkins Loans, Federal Work-Study (FWS) and federally subsidized Stafford Loans.

You must maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP) in your courses to be eligible for most federal financial aid forms. The Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships can help you determine if you are making SAP at any time during the semester or summer term by checking with them at (317) 274-7184 or visit the Office website: http://www2.iupui.edu/finaid/sap/.

Scholarships

Scholarships are financial awards that are not loans. They can be used for tuition and fees, room and board, books, supplies and other expenses. Scholarships are awarded based on academic merit or financial need.

Scholarship funds come from many sources, including IUPUI scholarships, outside organizations such as the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) and private companies like Eli Lilly & Co.

Scholarship applications must be completed by March 1st for the summer session or fall semester, April 1st for the spring semester, and June 1st for summer session II.

Cost of Attendance (COA)

Cost of Attendance (COA) is the amount of money you will need to pay for tuition, fees and living expenses while attending IUPUI. The Office of Financial Aid will use the COA to determine your eligibility for financial aid.

The primary components of COA include:

Tuition & Fees: This consists of all charges associated with attending classes on campus, including registration fees and student activity fees (if applicable).
Room & Board: This includes housing and food expenses based on a standard meal plan for an average student living off-campus in Indianapolis. It does not include costs associated with commuting from home or staying with family members in Indiana during breaks such as Thanksgiving or spring break because those situations are highly individualized based upon each student’s circumstances at home versus at school; therefore, we cannot accurately predict these costs ahead of time without knowing more details about them first hand which would require additional documentation beyond what is needed here–namely proof that transportation exists between where they live now vs where they go to school each day (elevators don’t count!).
