What is federal work study, and how can I get a job?

Federal work study is a need-based financial aid award that assists students with meeting their educational expenses while allowing them to gain meaningful work experience. Find more information about jobs at UIS and how to apply here!

What are some common mistakes students and families make when filing the FAFSA?

From not filling out the FAFSA® form correctly, to not completing all sections on time, or forgetting to sign and submit your form before the deadline, there are several common mistakes that students and families can easily avoid.

Besides federal grants and loans, where can I go to find college financial aid?

Students can receive financial aid from state agencies, individual schools, and a variety of community organizations. Most schools have their own financial aid programs and use your FAFSA results for those, too. Visit isac.org for information on state funded programs.

How soon do I need to file the FAFSA, and should I still apply if I think my family makes too much money?

There is no harm in applying even if you think your family makes too much money. It may be worthwhile to complete the FAFSA to determine what federal, state, and institutional aid you qualify for. Visit FAFSA Myths to see financial aid myths de-bunked.
