## Apply for Financial Aid

Once you’re admitted, be sure to submit the [Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)](https://www.purdue.edu/dfa/apply/fafsa/) to apply for financial aid, even if you don’t think you’ll qualify. The FAFSA automatically considers you for all types of need-based [financial aid](https://www.purdue.edu/dfa/aid/).

If you’re a first-year student, visit[Scholarship Universe](https://www.purdue.edu/dfa/apply/scholarshipuniverse/) to apply for scholarships, log in through your Purdue application portal. Scholarship Universe can be used to find and apply for college-level and private scholarships.

Check out Purdue’s [Net Price Calculator](https://www.purdue.edu/dfa/cost/calculator/), designed to help families plan for educational costs. By entering personal financial information, you can receive a financial aid package estimate that includes an estimated “net price” figure (estimated cost of attendance minus your anticipated need-based scholarship and grant aid).
