The process of applying for financial aid can be over-whelming the first
time. We realize this and would like to assure you that we can help you
through the process.
The most important
step is to be familiar with the FAFSA Application (Free Application for
Federal Student Aid). This will serve as your application for all
federal, state and institutional types of student assistance. Your FAFSA
will be processed by the federal government, shared with the state
governments and then forwarded to the colleges you list on the
application.
Monmouth College
should be listed on your FAFSA along with our Title IV Code # 001725.
Once Monmouth College receives the results of your FAFSA, your
individual file will be reviewed and a financial aid package prepared
specifically for you.
This usually begins
by March 1st of each year and continues on a rolling basis throughout
the spring. After reviewing the package, you have the opportunity to
accept or reject each individual type of assistance being offered.
Below is a timeline that will help keep you on task as you progress
through the next several months.
