First steps: Eligibility and Registration
Students should make sure they are eligible for IUHPFL before registering. They must register between September 15th and November 15th via the link that will be available on the Registration page. Students are advised to register as early as possible in order to give themselves, their teachers, and their other appraisers plenty of time to complete the extensive IUHPFL Application.
Invitation to Apply for Eligible Students
Within two (2) business days, the IUHPFL Office will verify eligibility and send an "Invitation to Apply" by email to students who meet qualification criteria. The message will contain detailed information about the application process and a link to the applicant's unique Student Portal. Only students have access to their portals, because they alone are responsible for making sure their applications are completed on time.
Note: All application materials are submitted online. Please see the application instructions for details on each required component listed below. Should you have any questions, please contact the IUHPFL Office at iuhpfl@iu.edu.
