1. What are the requirements to apply?
   You must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen. You also must apply for admission to a certificate or degree program.


2. How do I apply for aid?
   We suggest you apply for financial aid or academic scholarships between January 1 and March 1. You do this by applying for admission and submitting the free FAFSA application. Incoming freshmen who apply for financial assistance using the FAFSA will be notified of their eligibility in mid-June before the freshman year. Vincennes University academic scholarships are announced after March 1.


3. What is the FASFA, and where do I get it?
   FASFA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and you can get it from your high school counselor, by calling the VU Financial Aid Office, or by applying online.


4. Is there a FAFSA checklist that would help me avoid common filing errors?
   Yes. Follow the link to view and print a Financial Aid Checklist that contains important FAFSA information.


5. I probably don't qualify for aid. Should I apply for aid anyway?
   Yes. Many families assume they don't qualify for aid but actually do. There is no good excuse for not applying.


6. Is there an on-line student guide that can help me calculate my financial aid, and understand more about the process?
   Yes. The FinAid link has lots of resources to assist you, including a financial aid calculator.


7. Does my application to VU have to be accepted before I can apply for financial aid?
   No. You can apply for financial aid any time after January 1. To actually receive funds, however, you must be admitted and enrolled at the university
