Financial Aid FAQs

IWU FAFSA School Code: 001822

Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is one of the first steps to discovering the best aid options available to making a Christian Education at IWU affordable. 

The FAFSA helps determine what scholarships and grants a student may qualify for to help fund their education.

File FAFSA

The FAFSA is an online form used by colleges to determine how much financial aid you're eligible to receive, which could include grants, scholarships, work-study funds, and loans.

Completing the online FAFSA form usually takes about one hour.

You must apply for aid every year, but with the right information in hand, it's easy.

File FAFSA

Quite simply, every student wishing to receive financial aid should fill out the FAFSA form online.

We recommend that any student, regardless of income, who wants to be considered for federal, state, and school financial aid programs start their aid journey by completing the FAFSA form online. 

The FSA ID is a secure electronic signature.  

The FSA ID is used to sign the FAFSA, and to also access other secure federal aid websites. Student FAFSA filers, as well as one parent of students who must report parental data on their FAFSA, need their own unique FSA ID.

Carefully follow the instructions when creating or editing your FSA ID. Each FSA ID must be unique; thus, a different email address must be used when each family member creates their own FSA ID.

  • TIP 1: Enter your Name (as it appears on your Social Security Card), Date of Birth and Social Security Number!
  • TIP 2: No one should ever create an FSA ID for another
When you are unsure of how to answer a question on the FAFSA, the Federal Student Aid website has a lot of great resources.
