WHERE TO GET FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS

Financial aid applications are available on-line at www.fafsa.ed.gov .  Paper applications are available from high school counselors or the Office of Financial Aid. A student applying for aid administered by DePaulUniversity’s Office of Financial Aid should use the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA will also serve as applications for the Illinois State Monetary Award, the Federal Pell Grant, and the Federal Direct Loan.  DePaul’s institutional code (required for the FAFSA) is 001671.

Students and parents are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid with any questions they may have concerning application requirements. Students are advised NOT to wait for an admission decision before applying for financial aid. Both application procedures can take place simultaneously, although a student must be admitted before an aid award will be offered.
