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.

Apply for Admission to Monmouth
College. Be sure to include ACT/SAT test scores and your official grade
transcripts.

Although our "Monmouth Plan" grants are awarded automatically and our
academic scholarships do not require an individual application process,
we strongly encourage you to pursue private funding through scholarship
search tools on-line. Check out our Helpful Websites Menu for links to
private sources of funding.
After January 1
File the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal
Student Aid) using your most recent tax returns. Filing on-line at
