Application Process: Prospective Students for Early Decision

Denison University will provide an estimated need based financial aid package for Early Decision Applicants who are accepted.  To get an estimated need based financial aid award letter, an applicant must indicate that he or she intends to apply for financial aid on the application for admission.  The Admissions Office will mail an Early Decision Financial Aid Application and instructions about the required documentation from the Federal Student Aid FAFSA4Caster.  (PLEASE NOTE:  Denison's Early Decision Financial Aid Application and instructions are not available on line).

Students who accept the need based offer and enroll are required to follow the steps below to ensure that the aid awards are finalized and disbursed to their University account:

1. File a FAFSA after January 1
2. Provide to the Financial Aid Office any requested verification documentation including signed copies of the prior year federal tax returns
3. Provide a copy of the final high school transcript or other official documents certifying graduation from high school
