FEDERAL AND STATE FINANCIAL AID
Financial aid is a complex area within student services that requires a great deal of specialized knowledge and information. Your individual consultation with the Financial Aid Office will be essential for you to understand the implications and proper procedures or options available to you.
If you are admitted to a degree program (matriculated), you may qualify for federal and/or state financial aid, including loans and grants (for undergraduate students). Eligibility for grants and/or loans will be determined after you have completed the U.S. Department of Education's online financial aid application at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov or you may request a paper application from the Financial Aid Office. You should complete the financial aid application as soon as you complete the UW System Application for Admission.
The process of determining whether you qualify for financial aid takes approximately eight weeks.
