Financial Aid

Application Process: Current Students

Complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the Federal Processor by April 1st

If you have never applied for need-based aid before, you must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by April 1st and designate Denison to receive the information by putting in our federal code of 003042.

The FAFSA can be filed online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. The 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.

Applicants who are independent for federal aid, based on the criteria in step 3 of the FAFSA do not have to submit parental information or have a parental signature on the FAFSA.

After the FAFSA is filed online, the data from the form and the EFC is sent electronically to Denison. If a valid e-mail address was provided on the FAFSA application, the student will receive an electronic Student Aid Report (SAR) at that e-mail address.

After Denison receives the federal data, students will be notified if additional information is needed to complete the financial aid file.

The financial aid file must be complete by June 15th to ensure that your financial aid will credit to the fall semester bill that is generated in early July.
