How and When to Apply for Financial Aid

All students applying for federal and state financial aid must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) . The Financial Aid Office encourages you to submit your FAFSA on-line. FAFSA worksheets are available at the Financial Aid Office or local high school guidance offices. A new application must be filed for each year of attendance at Mount Aloysius College.

After completing the FAFSA, the student will receive either a PIN number or paper Student Aid Report from the federal government. The PIN number and/or the Student Aid Report can be used by the student to review the information presented for accuracy. If the student finds an error, he or she should contact the Financial Aid Office immediately and inquire with regard to electronic processing of the needed corrections. The college choice(s) listed by the student on the Report will receive an electronic record equivalent to that received by the student. The College uses this information to make a determination of the types of and amounts of financial assistance for which the student is eligible.
