The Purdue North Central Financial Aid Staff wants to be sure that no student is denied higher education simply because they cannot afford to attend.

Over one half (63%) of PNC students take advantage of some $15 million in Financial Aid awarded annually. Financial Aid is made available through grants and scholarships, as well as loan and work-study programs.

The first step in the Financial Aid process is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Each January the new FAFSA forms are available for the following academic year. To be considered for state grants your FAFSA should be completed by March 1 to ensure it is received by the annual March 10 deadline as established by the State Student Assistance Commission for Indiana (SSACI).
