Please note: The receipt of a scholarship may result in the reduction or repayment of need-based financial assistance previously awarded to you by Indiana University.
In accordance with federal regulations, the Office of Student Financial Assistance is required to monitor whether your total financial assistance remains within their financial need-based eligibility. Similar practices are followed with some institutional need-based grants. Whenever possible, self-help awards (loans and Federal Work-Study) are reduced before federal or institutional gift-aid.
