FAFSA
If you want help paying for school, it all starts with submitting your Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA opens on October 1.
Step 1: Submit Your FAFSA
It’s important to complete and submit your FAFSA.
Step 2: Financial Aid is Awarded
After your FAFSA is processed, you’ll receive an award letter from the financial aid office with details on your financial aid package. It’s good for one academic year and lists each source of aid and the amounts. If you have any questions, we encourage you to reach out to a UW campus directly. Campus contact information is listed below.
