Need-Based Financial Aid Application Process
- Applicant and one of the parents must obtain a federally assigned PIN number at http://www.pin.ed.gov/ to satisfy the signature requirements for the FAFSA
- File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ and designate Denison to receive the information by putting in our federal code of 003042
- Prospective students who are admitted to Denison are encouraged to complete their FAFSA by February 15 to ensure receipt of a tentative need based award prior to April 1
- Families with financial circumstances that cannot be submitted on the FAFSA are encouraged to submit a signed letter of explanation to the Financial Aid Office
NOTE: Applicants who are independent for federal aid, based on federally defined criteria, do not have to submit parental information or have a parental signature on the FAFSA.
