Financial Aid

2009-2010 Financial Aid Checklist

Students applying for Federal Loans such as the Federal Stafford Loan or the Graduate PLUS Loan must complete and submit the following to the Financial Aid Office:

__ FAFSA

Must be submitted electronically by Friday, April 17, 2009. You can access the website at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you completed a FAFSA for the 2008-2009 academic year, you may complete a renewal application. Most of your information will be populated and you will just need to update your financial information and any other item that has changed. Please review your information carefully to avoid mistakes that could delay the processing of your request for financial aid. (If you are applying for institutional aid as well, the sections requesting parental information must also be completed on the FAFSA.)

__ UConn Application – Part I

All students who are seeking financial assistance must complete this form. There are separate applications, one for new students (PDF) and one for returning students (PDF).

__ Signed Copy of the Student’s 2008 Federal Tax Return

Students interested in institutional funding such as Tuition Remission and University Loans must also complete and submit these additional forms.
