How To Apply

How to apply for returning and newly accepted graduate students

Step 1:
Complete the 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

While there is no deadline to apply for aid, remember that it takes at least six weeks for the processing of financial aid and loans. If you wish to have your bill paid in full by the beginning of the term and receive any excess of funds in a timely manner, you must complete the above items by this six-week deadline. If your financial aid is not in place to pay your bill for the beginning of the term for whatever reason, then you must be prepared to use the Bursar's Deferred Payment Plan. If you do not make the necessary payment arrangements, you will incur a late fee. No financial aid can be processed once you cease to be enrolled.

Our Title IV code is 003287. You may use the renewal FAFSA if you received one or apply online at: www.fafsa.ed.gov

Step 2:
Complete the Web Institutional Data Form (WIDF).(From available after March 10th, 2008) No Aid will be awarded until this form is completed.


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.

Accepted and returning students maybe use the Internet to view requested documentation and/or to determine if the Office of Student Financial Services has received any of this paperwork. To do this, log onto mylasalle, and then click on Brother LUWIS.
