The difference between your family’s resources, which is called the Student Aid Index (SAI), and the total cost of attending college determines your financial need. The SAI is determined by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year.
The FAFSA considers the following factors when evaluating the family’s resources:
Education is an investment, and it can be affordable. Tayor financial aid resources fall into two categories: merit-based and need-based.
Working hard in high school can pay off! Our university scholarship awards are based on your test scores and GPA.
If you are interested in academic awards, you must have the required ACT, SAT, or CLT score and GPA to receive the amount listed. SAT score is calculated by combining the Math and Reading portions of the test.
These merit-based awards are renewable with a 3.0 college GPA and available to all incoming freshmen beginning in the fall of 2024. Decisions for merit-based aid are made independent of the FAFSA.
You may be eligible for need-based financial aid, depending on your financial need and other eligibility requirements. To find out your eligibility, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Need-based aid includes funding from:
All need-based amounts are subject to change based on federal regulations.
The scholarship priority filing deadline for the FAFSA is February 1 each year. The filing deadline for need-based grants from Taylor or the state of Indiana is April 15.

Fall 2024 incoming student profile:
To receive need-based aid, you must file the FAFSA.
Financial aid packages will not be awarded until you are accepted to Taylor. However, you may begin the financial aid process before your acceptance is finalized.
The FSA ID confirms your identity on the FAFSA and related documents. Students and parents must create their own FSA IDs.
File the FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1:
Be sure to indicate that you want a copy of your FAFSA sent to Taylor University (code: 001838).
