Applying for
Financial Aid
Applying for financial aid is fairly easy. You need only complete the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to apply for most
financial aid programs. Students who complete the FAFSA will be
considered for the Federal Pell Grant, the Federal Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), the Federal Academic Competitiveness
Grant (ACG), the National SMART Grant, the PA State Grant, the Federal
Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford Loan, as well as the Federal Work Study
Program.
The FAFSA may be completed as early as January of the year you will
begin college - you do not need to wait until you have applied for
admission and/or been admitted to Lock Haven. You will be asked to
provide the Federal School Code on the FAFSA. Lock Haven
University's
Federal School Code is 003323. Students are encouraged to file the
FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
The FAFSA on the Web
Worksheet will help you (and your parents if you are dependent
student as determined in Step 3 of the FAFSA) collect information needed
to complete the FAFSA. If you would like additional information
about properly completing the FAFSA, click here.
You should complete the FAFSA by March 15, or as soon as
possible after admissions. Filing early is crucial because funds may be
limited. Note: Applying for
financial aid is an annual process. You must reapply for financial aid
every year during your college career.
