Parents Welcome Panther Parents! Whether you're sending your first or your fifth child off to college, the financial aid process can create anxiety or confusion. The UNI Financial Aid Office is here to help. We have created a page for you to address some of the areas in which parents most commonly ask questions. In addition, we have provided links to online financial aid resources to provide information on the overall financial aid process. Remember, with your student now being a college student we are limited in the amount of information we can give out concerning specifics about their financial aid. Online Resources Below we have listed several sites to help parents and their students in understanding the entire financial aid process. Feel free to navigate these sites to answer any questions. Student Guide for Financial Aid Parents and Student Guide for Federal Tax Benefits Savings Plans The Iowa 529 Plans are a new way to save for your students. College Savings Iowa allows any US resident to begin saving through their accommodating, low cost plans. Accounts can be established for children, grandchildren, other relative, or friend under the age of 18. Special Circumstances If you have unusual circumstances, such as high medical bills or a loss of income, contact our office for details on how we may be able to assist you. Families will be asked to provide documentation to support those adjustments. If you have children for whom you pay childcare expenses to a childcare provider, please contact our office. |
