Financial Aid
Many adult students seek out financial aid options to help them achieve academic success. More than half of the current adult learners at Indiana Wesleyan Unversity receive financial aid and believe the benefits of this quality of education outweigh the costs.
Talk to your employer about education reimbursement. Indiana Wesleyan University's works closely with many employers in your area.
Financial aid recipients are required to maintain satisfactory academic progress in their course of study. Students are required to attend the necessary class sessions per the APS Academic Attendance and Tardy Policy. Students receiving Financial Aid are required to complete their program within a maximum period of 1.5 times the standard program length.

Indiana Wesleyan University's LEAP Program offers discounts to military. LEAP will offer tuition discounts to all military, including members of Reserves, the National Guard, and their spouses. Tuition fees are discounted for both bachelor's and master's degree programs.
Indiana Wesleyan University's designed their LEAP program 13 years ago to respond to the needs of working adults in a constantly changing workplace. Busy adults can choose to study completely online or take classes on-site, one night a week, at any one of the multiple community locations throughout Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.

Military personnel can choose from a wide array of degree programs, including accounting, business administration, criminal justice, business information systems, marketing and management.
