Financial Aid
School of Adult & Extended Learning (SAEL)

If you are an eligible student enrolled in the School of Adult and Extended Learning (S.A.E.L.), you can apply for federal and state grants, and the University’s General Baptist grant. Student loans are also offered to you through the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program.

To be considered for financial aid, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (henceforth referred to as the FAFSA) for the award year you want to receive aid. Also, your FAFSA must be processed by the Department of Education on or before the first day of the semester you plan to enroll in. If you miss this deadline, you will not receive financial aid, including student loans, until you register for subsequent semesters.

The University’s academic year consists of three semesters in the following order:
Semester 1………………………..Fall
Semester 2………………………..Spring
Semester 3………………………..Summer

Generally, most students who are enrolled full time for the fall and spring semesters, use all of their aid eligibility for the academic year. You should always check with the Financial Aid Office if you are unsure of your aid eligibility for summer semesters.

You must file the FAFSA every year beginning in January to be considered for financial aid that will be disbursed in the fall of the same year. It is important that Indiana residents meet the March 10 deadline to be considered for state grants. The State of Indiana makes no exceptions to this deadline. Although the deadline for the state is in March, you can still file after this date to be considered for federal grants and loans. If you are uncertain as to which year’s FAFSA you should file, contact the Financial Aid Office.
