HOW TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
Trinity requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for federal, state, and institutional financial aid.
FAFSA Information
Website: www.fafsa.ed.gov
Phone: (800) 4-FEDAID
Trinity University's School Code: 003647
| Step 1: | Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online, or obtain a paper application from your high school guidance office, or from the Office of Financial Aid. | |
| Step 2: | Due to limited availability of funds, submit the FAFSA online or as soon as possible in paper format after January 1, 2005 to the federal processor. To ensure full consideration of financial assistance, submit the FAFSA by May 1, 2005. The Office of Financial Aid will receive the FAFSA results electronically when you include Trinity's code (003647); Trinity will not provide a need-based financial aid award until the Office of Financial Aid receives these results and for new applicants, after you have been accepted for admission. | |
| Step 3: | Returning students must sign and return Trinity's Financial Aid Award within three weeks of the date on the award letter. Awards must be "accepted" in order for monies to be disbursed. New applicants must sign and return Trinity's Financial Aid award by the appropriate deposit deadline. Acceptance of the Financial Aid Award DOES NOT complete Trinity's admission process. All admission deposit deadlines and procedures must be followed to reserve a place in the class. | |
