Students should also apply early for admission to the University but not wait for acceptance before applying for financial aid. If you applied for financial aid during the 1999-2000 academic year, you will receive a customized Renewal Application in the mail. This computer generated application will be printed with your previous year's information. You MUST verify the demographic information, update the financial information, sign, date, and mail it back to the processor. In other words, read the entire application and answer all the questions to guarantee that your form will be processed correctly.
Incorrect forms take up to eight weeks to correct through the government.
This Renewal Application takes the place of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, and should be used by eligible students. When you file the free Renewal Application, you must meet all published deadlines in order to insure your application will receive priority packaging considerations. All new financial aid applicants are required to fill out the Free Application For Federal Student Aid. The Renewal Application was mailed to eligible students during November and December, 1998. Again we urge you to use these forms since they will expedite your application.
