Transfer Students
Financial aid does not transfer between schools
Although you've moved, your aid doesn't. You qualify for aid separately at each school. You must complete your ISU financial aid file to allow us to calculate your eligibility for assistance here. Frank O'Bannon Grant eligible students must also contact the State Student Assistance Commission of Indiana to let them know you are transferring, so your Frank O'Bannon Grant award can be sent to the right school.
Notify your former school about your transfer
If they have scheduled aid for you for future semesters, they may need to cancel any remaining money in order for you to get aid here at ISU.
Transfer Scholarships are available
Students transferring to ISU can apply for Transfer Scholarship.
If you have any questions, you may contact the Office of Admission at admissions@indstate.edu or by calling the office at 1-800-GO-TO-ISU.
All transfer students are awarded aid at ISU based upon freshman eligibility
This is required by our federal Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy. It lets you receive some aid on SAP probation to get you started in classes, with more aid possible after your transfer work is entered into our mainframe computer by the ISU Office of Registration and Records and evaluated. Your academic progress is reviewed by the end of your first semester here.
Loan Entrance Interviews
Once awarded student financial aid, if you accept a student loan you must complete an Entrance Interview here at ISU even if done before at another school. This can be accomplished on-line.
