IU Kokomo awards more than $13 million in scholarships, grants, loans and work-study employment to students each year. We participate in federal and state financial aid programs in addition to awarding university funds to students pursuing a degree.

The primary application for federal, state and IU Kokomo financial aid is the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). For maximum consideration, the FAFSA needs to be submitted each year by the Priority Application Receipt Deadline of March 10. FAFSA on the web is available at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The federal school code for IU Kokomo is 001814.
