Process

Step I

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
To apply for any financial aid, all students must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, also known as FAFSA.

If you have filed in earlier years a FAFSA and you have your PIN which is supplied by the Department of Education, you can go to www.fafsa.ed.gov (or click the FAFSA button below) and fill out the Renewal FAFSA.

Notes:

• Make sure you read every question carefully.
• Parental information is not required because all students are considered independent students in a graduate school. Your parent information is needed on the FAFSA only if you want to be considered for funds from the Department of Health and Human Services: Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL), Loans for Disadvantaged Students (LDS).
• The school code you must enter is 003938. This is very important if you want our school to receive your financial aid documents.
• You will need your 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040 Telefile, PR Tax forms, W-2 or any other income related documents to fill out the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA.
• You will receive a Student Aid Report in response to the information submitted. If there is any error in this document, you can enter the same website and enter in the Make Corrections to a Processed FAFSA section. After the corrections are done, you will receive another Student Aid Report.

Step II

This interview gives the student information regarding types of loans, repayment options, delinquency and default, types of deferment, and other related information.
