What you need to do, find, and know before you apply The Process

What you need to gather before you apply: •Your Social Security Number •Your parents’ Social Security Numbers (required if under 24 and single) •Driver’s license number •Federal tax information

Apply for a PIN online at www.pin.ed.gov. This will allow

you to sign your FAFSA application electronically. It saves you weeks of time! Complete and submit www.fafsa.ed.gov.

your FAFSA application at

Check your email for notifications about FAFSA. To give us your email address, login to Access, go to the Personal Information tab, click on "View/Update Preferred Email Address," and enter the email address you wish USU to use.

Accept your award. Loans and work-study funds require

acceptance. Grants are automatically accepted for you. You should accept any student loans or work-study you want. You will be awarded aid as a full-time student (12 credits), but your aid will automatically adjust with your enrollment. Student loans require that you sign a promissory note and complete loan counseling.

Pay your remaining balance before the payment

deadline. If any balance remains, your classes will be dropped.

Receive remaining funds through direct deposit or mail. You must login to Access to sign up for direct deposit. Under Personal Information you will find an option to “Update Direct Deposit.” If you do not have direct deposit, checks are sent to your mailing address once school begins.

Financial Aid

Tips

Apply early!

Some aid—like work-study, supplemental grants, and Perkins Loans, are generally available only to the earliest applicants. To have the best chance, complete your application early in February for the upcoming school year.

Transfer Students:

If you attend a school other than Utah State during the awarded year, you must notify the Financial Aid Office at www.usu.edu/finaid before you receive aid here. Do not list other schools that are part of a financial aid consortium agreement you have arranged with us.

Getting married?

If you apply before you marry, we cannot change your status until the following school year. In most cases, married students are eligible for more aid than dependents. Just remember, your marital status is permanent for the year.

Keep your mailing address current!

Financial aid checks and other important correspondence are sent to your “mailing” address on record. Keep your mailing address current (even in the summer) through Access at www.usu.edu/myusu or by calling the Financial Aid Office.
