The first step in applying for financial aid is to file the FAFSA. This is a U.S. Department of Education form that provides data to university financial aid offices in order to process federal student loans and other awards. Student loans are available for new graduate students all year round. The earlier you complete the FAFSA form, the sooner the Financial Aid Office will be able to create an award package for you. For more information, visit the Apply for Aid page.
After receipt of your FAFSA application, the Financial Aid Office will determine your aid eligibility and send you a financial aid notice. Upon receiving your notice, you must log in to accept or decline the aid offered to you.
- Go to the Financial Aid section of USFconnect:
Log into USFconnect, click on the Student tab, and then click on the Click Here button in the Student Self Service section. Once in Student Self Service, click on the Student tab, and then click on the Financial Aid menu.
- Check the status of your aid:
Click on the Financial Aid Status link. If you have any outstanding requirements, you must complete them before your aid can be confirmed.
- Accept or decline your aid:
Click on the Award link, then follow the link to accept or decline your award offers.You will not receive your aid unless you go online to accept it.
