How to Apply for Financial Aid

Note: The following filing dates will help you meet our priority deadline of mid March. Applications will be accepted after these dates, but funding cannot be guaranteed.

• As soon after October 1 as possible, but before mid February, complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). All students applying for any kind of federal or institutional financial aid (except PLUS loans) must file the FAFSA. Elon’s federal Title IV School Code is 002927. The FAFSA is completed at fafsa.gov.
• Certain applications may require that Elon University request additional information. Respond to these requests as soon as they are made.
• Notify Elon’s Office of Financial Aid of any scholarships, grants, loans or other assistance you will be receiving from any source other than Elon University. Such notification is required by federal regulation as well as institutional policy and failure to do so may affect previously made financial aid offers.
