Understand your financial aid options
Indiana University South Bend is committed to using the Principles & Standards of the College Cost Transparency Initiative in its student financial aid offer.
More than half of IU South Bend students qualify for financial aid each year. This includes scholarships and grants which do not need to be repaid, work-study opportunities that allow you to work and earn money to help pay for your costs, and low-interest student and parent loans (borrowed money that must be repaid).
