Paying for college can be a challenge. At IU Fort Wayne, we’re working to help keep your college costs down with affordable tuition, financial aid, and scholarships. When you choose IU Fort Wayne, you can be confident that you’re getting a great value for your tuition dollars—and making a sound investment in your future.
Your cost of attendance includes tuition and fees, housing and food, and books and supplies. You should also budget for transportation and personal expenses.
Your tuition and fees depend on a lot of factors, such as whether you’re from Indiana or another state, and which academic program you’re in.
If you’re a resident of Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, or Wisconsin, we’ve got good news for you: you’re eligible for the Midwest Student Exchange Program (MSEP) award, which allows you to attend IU Fort Wayne at a reduced cost.
We also have a reciprocity agreement with 14 Ohio counties, which means you’ll pay in-state tuition rates if you live in Allen, Auglaize, Butler, Darke, Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Mercer, Paulding, Preble, Putnam, Shelby, Van Wert, or Williams County.
A scholarship is a form of financial aid you don’t have to repay. IU Fort Wayne offers admission-based scholarships for your high school academic achievement. To qualify, you must submit your admissions application by June 1 and meet the scholarship criteria.
Beyond scholarships, your financial aid options include grants, work-study jobs, and loans. Make sure to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which will determine how much aid you qualify to receive.
We want to help you make good financial decisions throughout your time at IU Fort Wayne and beyond. MoneySmarts, a university-wide financial literacy initiative, will show you how to get on the road to financial wellness even before you set foot on campus.
