You also may receive gift types of aid if you show sufficient need. In addition to financial need, aid programs may have other eligibility criteria. Only US citizens and permanent residents are eligible for aid consideration.
Scholarships require a minimum grade average.
Graduate students also are eligible for self-help types of aid only. Non-degree seeking students are not eligible. The main federal program is the Federal Pell Grant program. It forms the foundation around which many other types of aid are awarded. Nonresidents of Indiana should check with their high school counselor or state student aid agency to see if their state has a program that will transfer to Purdue.
