This portion of the book provides an overview and helpful documents related to the handling of student financial aid expense at Indiana University.

Typically, this process is managed by the Office of the Bursar at IU. The Bursar’s Office maintains a record of expenses related to financial aid including the process of assessing financial aid and generating statements related to this expense. Financial aid is a critical component of Indiana University’s financial expenses, as it represents all scholarship awards IU has provided to its students. It is important to properly account for financial aid as these funds are used to support students in achieving their education goals. This is directly tied to IU’s mission of stewardship. Accurate financial aid data enables IU to make informed decisions about resource allocation, enrollment management, and promotes financial stability.
