How To Apply
How Day Incoming Students Should Apply for Financial Aid

Step 1:
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Our priority deadline date is February 15. Spring transfer students should complete the FAFSA for spring admission by December 1. (You might still be eligible for some types of financial aid if you miss this deadline.) Our Title IV code is 003287.

You may use the paper FAFSA available or may apply online at: www.fafsa.ed.gov

Step 2:
Completet the La Salle University Web Institutional Data Form. Further instructions regarding this will be sent to you after May 1st.

Step 3:
Every year, the federal government randomly selects a group of students for verification. If you're selected, you will be required to submit additional documentation in order to complete your application. Besides verification, there may be other special circumstances pertaining to your application, for which we will need to collect various documentation. You will receive a letter that details the additional documentation that is needed. The documentation must be submitted within 30 days of receipt of our request letter. (See the section below on deadlines for more information.)

No Aid will be awarded until the requested documentation is received by our office.

You may use the Internet to see what documentation is needed and if it has been received by the Office of Student Financial Services. To do this, log onto https://my.lasalle.edu, and then click on Brother LUWIS.

Why Are These Deadline Dates So Important to You?

The purpose of our deadlines is to assure that your financial aid is credited to your account by the start of the fall term. However filing late or submitting requested documentation after the deadline may cause a reduction in your financial aid award or a delay in having your aid credited to your account.

If you miss the application or the additional documentation deadline, you must be prepared to use the Office of Student and Accounts Receivable's deferred payment plan if your financial aid is not in place for the beginning of the fall term. If you do not make the necessary payment arrangements, you will incur a late charge that will not be waived.

Also, if you miss the deadlines and your financial aid is not in place, then you must be prepared for a delay in receiving a refund check for living expenses or a transfer of funds to your gold card to buy books. Information concerning the deferred payment plan can be obtained from the Office of Student and Accounts Receivable at 215 951-1055.
