Verify your independent household size

As part of the verification process, IU Indianapolis will review information about your household size.

Once you’ve submitted your form, please allow up to 15 business days for your documentation to be reviewed. Additional documentation may be requested, and any form that is incomplete or provides conflicting information will require follow-up and delay processing.

If we are unable to complete verification, we may be required to cancel any existing financial aid awards you might have received.
