Transferring to LHU
LHU's Office of Student Financial Services mails specific information
about financial aid application requirements and deadlines to each accepted
transfer student. The following general steps are required in order to
receive financial aid consideration at LHU.
·
The
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
must be completed by all financial aid applicants for each year of attendance at
LHU. Students may complete only one FAFSA per academic year. If you have
already completed a FAFSA but are not sure you listed LHU as a recipient of the
FAFSA results, you must do the following:
Review your FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov to see if you listed LHU as one of the schools to receive your information. If you did not list LHU, please correct your FAFSA to include us. LHU's Federal School Code is 003323.
·
Pennsylvania
State Grant
applicants must specify LHU as the recipient of all state grant information.
If
you did not list LHU as the first school on the FAFSA, you must inform
PHEAA Grant Division of your enrollment change. Please go to AES/PHEAA's home page
at
www.aessuccess.org. Click on "Account Access", login, then go to the State Grant
Status area to make online changes to your school information. If you need
assistance, you may contact AES/PHEAA at 1-800-692-7392.
·
Federal Stafford
Loans, Federal PLUS Loans, and Alternative Loans
approved for attendance at your previous school cannot be disbursed to LHU.
If
your previous school processed a loan or scheduled loan disbursements for a term
during which you will not be enrolled at that school, you must cancel the
disbursement(s) by contacting your lender, guarantor (e.g. AES/PHEAA
1-800-692-7392), or previous school.
If
your parent wishes to borrow a Federal PLUS Loan for your attendance at LHU,
s/he may either apply online at
www.aessuccess.org or obtain a Federal PLUS Loan application from a
participating lender.
·
Deferment of Loan
Payment
You may be eligible to defer payment of Federal
Stafford Loans, Federal Perkins Loans, and Alternative Loans borrowed at your previous school(s).
Please contact your lender or loan servicer regarding eligibility for
deferments. Contact the LHU Registrar's Office, 127 Russell Hall (570-484-2006)
to have any required deferment or enrollment verification forms completed.
