FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Let us help you find the financial aid you need to reach your career goals.

Indian River State College is one of the most affordable colleges in the nation. But we understand that even an affordable college can be hard to pay for right at the beginning of your academic journey.
That’s where financial aid comes in. Most students at The River receive some form of financial aid to help them get the education they need, whether that’s scholarships, grants, work-study, military benefits, or loans.
Even better, 91 percent of our students graduate with no debt. Many—42 percent—receive grants or scholarships that don’t need to be paid back.
Ready to invest in your future? Ready to take real steps toward your career goals? We’re here to help. Use these pages to understand how financial aid works, what’s available and how to apply. If you have any questions about financial aid, please contact us.
