Student Financial Assistance Student Financial Assistance (SFA), in partnership with internal, federal, state and other organizations, works to coordinate the administration of all student financial assistance awarded to ensure equity and consistency in the delivery of funds to students. SFA encourages all students to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The results of the FAFSA determine eligibility for federal and state assistance as well as some need-based scholarships. SFA’s student-focused team works to assist students through the financial assistance process. They assist with the necessary eligibility requirements, knowledge of the programs and renewal criteria, and are the best resource for answering all financial assistance questions. Maintaining critical knowledge of the various programs, the SFA team uses the resources available to help families finance the cost of attending USI.
