Financial Aid Processing for '98-'99 Underway

The Office of Student Finances has made available the Financial aid applications for the coming academic year. The application can be filled out either on paper or electronically, but the deadline for both is April 15.

In order to apply for financial aid, whether from federal or University sources, students and parents must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Student Finances strongly requests that applicants use financial information from a completed 1997 1040 form only. The FAFSA is the only form that is required to apply for aid. New York State residents will be sent a TAP application by NYS HESC based upon filling the FAFSA.

Everyone is urged to complete the FAFSA through the web. Renewal and original FAFSA forms may be accessed at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.

The FAFSA is the document that collects information regarding family finances and is used to compute eligibility for all aid programs. Yeshiva University's Title IV code number is "002903" and MUST be listed in Section "G". The results of the FAFSA (SAR) will be electronically transmitted to YU by the federal processor if our TITLE IV code number has been listed.

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY in completing all forms. Errors and missing information will result in delayed processing and decreased availability of aid. Be sure to use the student's full legal name in completing all applications.

Student Finances is aware of the complexities of requesting financial aid and stands ready to assist parents and students. Please do not hesitate to consult with them if you have any questions at (212) 960-5269.
