3. Complete the FAFSA to be considered for financial aid or scholarships

You must fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Student Financial Aid) to be eligible for financial aid from the federal government and/or from IYRS. When filling out the form, select IYRS as an institution (school code: 037323). If you do not submit a completed FAFSA, you cannot be awarded funding.

US Veterans should contact Jill Dubnansky, Associate Director of Financial Aid and Institutional Compliance, before filling out these forms to understand how awards might affect your Veteran's benefits.
