When:

Financial Aid is given annually. You must complete a new FAFSA every year to apply for grants and loans.

The FAFSA for the 2020-2021 school year is now available. Students who meet the December 1, 2019, priority application date will be considered for every requested financial aid program for which they may be eligible and for which there are available funds.

How:

1. Obtain a federal FSA ID (Federal Student Aid ID)

• The FSA ID acts as your electronic signature on the FAFSA.
• Create your FSA ID at studentaid.ed.gov.

2. Submit the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)

• FAFSA is available online at fafsa.gov.
• The University of Akron's Federal School Code is 003123.
• You can still complete the FAFSA after December 1.
• Since the priority deadline was December 1, it is recommended that you complete the FAFSA as soon as possible if you know you are planning on using aid.

3. You will receive your SAR (Student Aid Report) from the U.S. Department of Education

• The SAR summarizes the information you provided on the FAFSA and indicates your Expected Family Contribution, which will help determine your need.
• If you've made a mistake on your FAFSA, you can make corrections at fafsa.gov.
