A Kids’ Chance scholarship is just one of many that may be available to an applicant. The Federal government provides grants and loans based on need. The State of Indiana has various grants and scholarships based on need and academic performance. Other sources of financial aid are available, and information on all forms of aid is likely to be available in the applicant’s high school guidance office.
The cornerstone of the federal financial aid process is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). A blank form (and assistance in completing it) should be available in the applicant’s high school guidance office. Please note that the priority date for filing the FAFSA is March 1 of the spring prior to the academic year.
In response to the FAFSA, the applicant will receive a student Aid Report (SAR) from the Federal Student Aid Programs. It is important to respond to the SAR as data are corrected and re-reported.
After the first year of higher education, the applicant is required to prepare and file the Renewal Free Application for Federal Student Aid (Renewal FAFSA). The renewal forms are sent to the applicant’s last permanent address each year. The deadlines and response process are the same in subsequent years as described above for the first year.
We request copies of the FAFSA and SAR’s for each academic year as supporting documentation for the scholarship application. We also request copies of any financial aid notification letters received from the academic institution or other sources. Failure to supply these documents may preclude or delay the awarding of a Kids’ Chance of Indiana, Inc. Scholarship.
(Please note the forms, addresses, and dates above are determined by government agencies or other entities and may be subject to change. It is the responsibility of the applicant to determine and comply with all of the applicable regulations of Federal/State agencies and those of the educational institution which the student attends or plans to attend.) |
