Financial aid available to students
PLATTEVILLE - Students interested in applying for financial aid should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA, a federal application, allows students to apply for federal and state aid in the form of grants, loans and the work-study program. All students are welcome to apply.
The FAFSA application process has been made even easier this year by providing online applications. Interested students may visit www.FAFSA.ed.gov to view an online application and additional information. The University of Wisconsin-Platteville School code is 003921. Before beginning the FAFSA application, students should get a personal identification number from the U.S. Department of Education by visiting www.pin.ed.gov. A PIN number allows students to revisit their FAFSA application to correct or update information on processed FAFSA forms. If parental information is provided on FAFSA applications, a student's parents will also need to obtain a PIN number.
Individuals completing the FAFSA will need to provide their social security numbers (SSN) and when using parental information their parents SSN will also be required. If applicable, students may also need to supply driver's license numbers and alien registration numbers. Federal tax information and untaxed income will also be evaluated. The priority date deadline for UWP student applications is March 15. This is a priority date, not a deadline. For more information, students may visit the financial aid office, located on the second floor of Brigham Hall on the UWP campus or contact the office at (608) 342-1836 or 800-616-0412. Interested individuals may request to speak with Sara Davis, Angela Davis or Doris Oduro, all financial aid counselors; Sheila Trotter, assistant director or Liz Tucker, director.
