What is financial aid?
Financial aid consists of grants, scholarships, loans, and employment opportunities that are available to help students pay or assist in the cost of attending Florida A&M University. Most financial aid resources are based on documented financial need and are intended to supplement, not replace, financial resources. Financial need is determined from the information that is supplied on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Detailed information about financial aid programs is available in The Student Guide. State financial aid program details are available on the Florida Department of Education website.
How do I apply for financial aid?
You can apply for financial aid each academic year by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Beginning in January, you may file either of two formats of the FAFSA; paper or electronic. The paper FAFSA is available from the Office of Student Financial Aid. The electronic version of the FAFSA form is available at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. FAFSA on the Web can be an easier and faster way to file your application. It does not require you to download or install any software. The encrypted website contains an optional "Pre-application," which you can print and complete before entering your FAFSA data on-line. As you enter data on-line, there are edits and prompts to help you with the completion of the form. After all required information has been entered, you and your parents (if you are a dependent student) can electronically sign the application if each of you has a federal Personal Identification Number, or PIN. The U.S. Department of Education issues the PIN. You may request a PIN on-line at www.pin.ed.gov. Allow at least two weeks to receive it in the mail. You can receive the PIN via e-mail within four to five business days. If you filed a FAFSA in the previous year, you can use the Renewal FAFSA, which the U.S. Department of Education will mail to you in November or December, or you can complete the Renewal FAFSA on the Web.
How do I apply for a loan?
To request consideration for a Federal Perkins Loan and/or a Federal Stafford Loan, answer "Yes" to Question 27 on the FAFSA, which asks, "In addition to grants, are you interested in student loans (which you must pay back)?" To change your answer to Question 27 after your FAFSA has been submitted to the federal processor, complete the Loan Request form available in the Office of Student Financial Aid.
How do I apply for Work Study?
To request consideration for work-study, answer "Yes" to Question 28 on the FAFSA, which asks, "In addition to grants, are you interested in 'work-study' (which you earn through work)?" The Guide to Work Study provides comprehensive information concerning the work-study hiring processes.
Please note: Each year there are many more requests for work-study than there are funds. Consequently, all eligible students cannot be awarded work-study.
How do I apply for scholarships?
The scholarship process at FAMU begins with your admission application. We encourage all students to use search engines such as www.fastweb.com and other resources for scholarship opportunities.
Can I apply for financial aid as an independent student?
Federal regulations define your dependency status. If you answer "no" to each of the seven questions stated in Step Three of the FAFSA, you are a dependent student.
The Office of Student Financial Aid recognizes that the definition of a "dependent" student stated on the FAFSA does not accommodate extenuating family circumstances. There may be family circumstances in which a federally defined dependent student should be considered as "independent." The Office of Student Financial Aid Professional Judgment Appeals Committee reviews such circumstances. To request such a review, complete the Dependency Override Appeal Form.
Notice: The following circumstances do not qualify, singularly or in combination, as extenuating circumstances and do not merit a dependency override:
1. Parents refuse to contribute to your education.
2. Parents are unwilling to provide information for FAFSA or for verification, which is the process by which a college or university confirms the data on an individual student's FAFSA.
3. Parents do not claim you as a dependent for income tax purposes.
4. You demonstrate total self-sufficiency.
What is the application processing priority date?
Application Processing Priority Date for FAMU is March 1st. Your FAFSA should be filed by March 1 to be considered for financial aid for FAMU’s fall and spring semesters. List the Florida A&M University federal code, 001480, on your FAFSA to ensure that the application data is sent to FAMU. You may submit the FAFSA after the priority date, but it is likely that only loans will be available. It is unlikely that gift aid other than the Federal Pell Grant (for undergraduate students only) or work-study will be available.
Where can I get help completing my FAFSA?
The U.S. Department of Education provides help on-line at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and via telephone at the Federal Student Aid Information Center: 1-800-4-FED-AID [1-800-433-3243]. The Center's hours of operation are from 8:00 am to midnight Monday through Friday Eastern Time and 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on Saturday.
What happens after I file my FAFSA?
Approximately four weeks after filing your FAFSA, the federal processor will mail a Student Aid Report (SAR) to you at the address listed on your FAFSA. If you provide an e-mail address on your paper FAFSA or on FAFSA on the Web, the federal processor will e-mail a message containing a link to your on-line SAR. You can access your SAR on-line by providing your Social Security number, date of birth, and first two letters of your last name. Your SAR either will identify your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) or request that you take additional action, which will allow your EFC to be determined. The EFC is used in determining your financial aid eligibility.* Carefully read and follow your SAR instructions. You are not required to submit your SAR to the Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA). If you listed the FAMU federal code, 001480, on your FAFSA, the FAFSA processing agency will electronically transmit your SAR data to OSFA. If you do not receive your SAR within four weeks of filing your FAFSA, you should telephone the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4 FED-AID [1-800-433-3243] to determine the processing status of your application. Special Note: If you apply via FAFSA on the Web and do not provide an e-mail address, the federal processor will send you a SAR Information Acknowledgement. It has fewer and less detailed comments than the SAR. For that reason the SAR Information Acknowledgement, unlike the SAR, cannot be used to make corrections to your FAFSA. The Office of Student Financial Aid will notify you of your financial aid eligibility status during late spring or early summer provided all required supplemental documents, if any, have been received and you are admitted to an eligible program. Late applicants are notified subsequently on a weekly rolling basis. *Your EFC helps determine your financial need. Financial need is the difference between your total annual educational expenses and your EFC. To determine your financial need, OSFA subtracts your EFC from the average cost of attendance (COA) for your program and grade level at FAMU. COA minus EFC = financial need.
How do I receive my award letter?
The Office of Student Financial Aid sends award letters electronically to your FAMU E-mail account. If the account is not valid a letter will be mailed via the U.S. Postal Service to undergraduate, graduate, and law school students whose plans are to enroll at FAMU for the upcoming academic year. Each student will receive one notification. Please continue to check iRattler for any updated financial aid information. Financial aid is paid in two disbursements if the award is for the academic year, half in the fall semester and the other half in the spring semester. If the award is for only one semester, payment of a Federal Stafford Loan will be made in two disbursements within the semester. Other aid will be disbursed in one payment. Your financial aid will be credited to your student account to pay for (1) your tuition and fees and (2) board and room, if applicable. When tuition and fees, board, and room, as appropriate, are paid, your remaining aid, if any, will be disbursed to you in a check. The University Controller's Office will mail the check to your address that is on file in the Office of the Registrar.
Note: Only the Office of the Registrar can change your address on university records or you can update your address by logging onto iRattler.
CAUTION: If you have outstanding university debts other than the three named above, you will be responsible for paying them from your remaining financial aid, if any. If you want the university to deduct payment for such debts from your financial aid, you must complete a "Title IV Authorization/Restriction Form."
What is verification?
The process by which a college or university confirms the data on an individual student's FAFSA is called verification. The federal processor selects the FAFSA’s for which the data submitted must be verified. If your application is selected for verification, you will be required to provide OSFA with documentation in support of the information reported on your application. For this purpose, you will be asked to submit documents such as a copy of your (and your parents', if you are a dependent student; your spouse's, if you are married) federal income tax return(s) or a statement certifying non-tax-filer status. You also will be asked to complete an independent or dependent verification worksheet.
How can I get my FAFSA that I completed for another school sent to FAMU?
To have a copy of the FAFSA that you completed for financial aid consideration at another school sent to FAMU, telephone the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID [1-800-433-3243] and request the addition of the FAMU federal code to your FAFSA. The FAMU federal code is 001480. In addition, you may go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and add FAMU onto your Student Aid Report (SAR).
What if I do not qualify for any need-based financial aid?
If you are not eligible for need-based financial aid, you will be offered a non-need-based unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loan provided you indicated interest in receiving loans on your FAFSA by answering "Yes" to Question 27 on the FAFSA, which asks, "In addition to grants, are you interested in student loans (which you must pay back)."
If I take classes at another university as well as FAMU, can I receive financial aid at both institutions?
You cannot receive a Federal Pell Grant or Stafford Loans from two schools simultaneously. The school from which you will receive your degree should be the school from which you receive financial aid.
What happens to my financial aid if I withdraw from the university?
The university refund policy is stated in the Schedule of Classes. Financial aid recipients who withdraw from all classes may be required to repay a portion of the aid received. OSFA strongly encourages you to discuss with a Financial Aid Administrator the effect withdrawing from all classes will have on your financial aid before you implement the change. After officially withdrawing from all classes, you must immediately notify OSFA of your enrollment status change.
Note: To determine the effect on financial aid of dropping one class or more while remaining enrolled in other classes, consult the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
How can I get a copy of my federal tax form?
In most cases, a "Tax Return Transcript" from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will meet financial aid requirements. The transcripts can be ordered on Form 4506, "Request for Copy or Transcript of Tax Form," which is available at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-fill/f4506.pdf.
NOTICE: Written requests submitted on IRS Form 4506 and requests made via telephone (1-800-829-1040) should be fulfilled within 10 to 15 days. The IRS has provided an information sheet with detailed steps on how to make the request.
