Financial Aid

Financial Aid Application Process

Where to Start

When it comes to all types of federal financial aid - including all forms of federally-backed student loans – the first step is filling out a FAFSA form. The first step of the financial aid process it to acquire a Federal Student Aid ID. 

Once you have your FSA ID, you can fill out your Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. 

Through the FAFSA site, you will complete Entrance Counseling and sign your Master Promissory Note/Loan Agreement (MPN). 

Once you receive loan offers, you will then have the opportunity to accept, decline or decrease the overall loan amount. Once this is complete, you may begin the registration process for your respective program through the Registrar.

Approximately three (3) days following the acceptance of your loan funds, you can view your disbursement date through TouroOne.

Fourteen (14) days after your disbursement date, any necessary refunds will be available through the Bursar.

Federal Loans

A federal student loan is made through a loan program administered by the federal government and offer many benefits that don’t typically accompany private loans.
