Financial Aid

If you have not submitted your FAFSA, do so today! You can start a new FAFSA or login to update an existing one on the Federal Student Aid website.
Need help completing the FAFSA? Answers to frequently asked questions can be found on ASU's financial aid website.
If you have completed your FAFSA, but have not submitted all required documentation, follow this link to finalize your paperwork.

ASU is committed to processing all financial aid applications as quickly as possible; however, completed applications are processed in the order received. A completed financial aid application includes a valid FAFSA on file and all additional documentation requested to complete the processing of your file.

If you are submitting past the November 1 spring priority deadline, please be aware your awards may not be available by the January 2 payment deadline date for spring term. This means that if you register for Full or A term classes and your financial awards are not available by January 2:

You must be prepared to pay your tuition and fees, housing, and meal plan by January 2.
You must be prepared to purchase your textbook, lab supplies, and other class materials by January 8.
If this presents a hardship, you should consider B term classes at ASU. (B term classes begin March 12). Please contact your admissions counselor to update your start date.
For more information, please refer to ASU’s financial aid website.
