Timeline for Entering Freshmen

Senior year of high school

Apply for admission and scholarships, preferably by our Early Action deadline of November 1. After Early Action, applications for admission will be accepted on a space-available basis.

October 2026 through April 1, 2027

Submit the 2027-28 FAFSA (available October 2026) at studentaid.gov to be considered for all forms of need-based aid, including federal, state and UE grants; federal loans; and federal work-study. In order for the University of Evansville to receive your FAFSA data, include UE's school code 001795. For your financial aid to be prepared, we encourage students to submit their FAFSA by April 1. This ensures that Indiana residents will meet the strict April 15 deadline to be eligible to be considered for State of Indiana Grants.

When completing the FAFSA, be sure to select the appropriate FAFSA year as there are typically two years available.

  • Students entering fall 2026, spring 2027 or summer 2027, submit the 2026-27 FAFSA
  • Students entering fall 2027, spring 2028 or summer 2028, submit the 2027-28 FAFSA (available October 2026)

Beginning January 2027

Admitted students who have listed the University of Evansville on their FAFSA will receive a Financial Aid Offer which will include cost and payment information. Please visit Financial Services Next Steps for information regarding finalizing your financial aid.
