Scholarship / Fin Aid

<p>Hey guys, Ive just been admitted to Purdue's First Year Engineering program. Could someone please explain the process of applying for scholarships and/or financial aid with the dates, information, etc..
It's just that I'm getting lost with all the information online that everything is mixed up in my head now..
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)</p>

<p>Since you applied before the early action date, you’re automatically considered for presidential, trustee, an marquis scholarships. Presidential and trustees are one or the other and marquis is for Indiana residents under $100k income. So if you fill the fafsa out before march 1, then you’ll be considered for the marquis if you’re instate. I think they send out an email with the link for the departmental scholarships around the first of the year. So fill that out. I think it’s pretty straight forward. Basically, all of the financial motification will be out by the first of April I think. So just check your Purdue email and apply for anything and everything.</p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>

<p>I believe that there is an application that. You have to fill it out by February 1st… Here is the link to the page that directs you to the application. </p>
