Indiana University Bloomington

Your finances are an important piece to the college puzzle. As a veteran, there are many factors that can affect the cost of your education and your eligibility for certain award programs.

Indiana Residency Status

If you are full-time military personnel stationed in Indiana on PCS orders, you and your spouse may be considered nonresidents of the state of Indiana for university tuition purposes. However, your military status entitles you to a remission of the nonresident portion of your credit hour fees. If you wish to be considered for fee remission, you must provide a copy of the military orders to the Office of the Bursar. Spouses of military personnel must produce a military-issued identification card in addition to military orders. Once your eligibility has been determined, the bursar or financial aid office will remit the nonresident portion of the credit hour fees.

The residency status of children of full-time military personnel is addressed by Trustees Residence Guidelines, Rule 2(c).

Changes in Financial Status

If your income level has significantly changed when compared to the tax year information you reported on your FAFSA due to separation from the military or other factors, complete an appeal form with the Financial Aid Office to be considered for an increase in financial assistance. 

Special Programs

The federal tuition assistance sponsorship program is handled through the Office of the Bursar, located in Franklin Hall 023. You must provide the office a copy of your approved tuition assistance application form.

The Indiana National Guard Supplement Grant is handled through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, located in Franklin Hall 208.
