Search Feedback Applying for Financial Aid 1. To be considered for financial aid, you must first apply for admission and be accepted to Hiram. We recommend that you apply for financial aid as soon as possible after January 1, but no later than March 1, to ensure the timely processing of your financial aid application. This ensures accurate calculation of your financial aid eligibility.
Some states require a separate application for state grants.
We recommend you make photocopies of all documents you complete in making applications for financial aid. They are useful if you schedule an appointment with our Office of Student Financial Aid or if any of your original documents are lost in the mail. If your application for financial aid is complete, you will receive a financial aid package from Hiram early in March. Please examine your package carefully. If there is any aspect of your award that is unclear or you have questions, please contact the Office of Admission or the Office of Student Financial Aid and we will be happy to help you.
