Be sure to indicate FDU as one of the schools you wish to receive your financial assessment, using the appropriate school code for the FDU campus your son or daughter plans to attend. FDU begins making financial aid awards in March and funding is limited. If you cannot or prefer not to file your taxes early, you should provide income estimates to meet the February 15 deadline. FDU's University Scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of academic merit, not financial need. Explore your state's grant programs.
Some states offer educational grants to students from that state.
For more information about your state's policies, contact your child's high school guidance office. In late spring, an application and information on FDU's in-house electronic loan program will be sent to your home, which automatically establishes necessary mailings, payments, and other information. Students who wish to prove that they are financially independent from their parents must submit appropriate federal income tax returns and other required documentation. Budgeting financial resources is hard enough for most families without the added expense of a college education. For this reason, FDU has developed several programs to help families who need a more flexible tuition payment schedule or financial assistance in funding their son's or daughter's FDU education.
