Student Aid
|
The Student Financial Aid Office administers federal, state, and institutional aid programs in order to provide financial aid to qualified students.
The programs of financial aid include scholarships, grants, loans, and student employment.
With the exception of grants, which are always need-based, each of these financial aid programs can be either need-based or non-need based.
All need-based programs are based on an assessment of an Expected Family Contribution using family income and asset information provided by the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the student and/or parent.
Students applying for financial aid programs that require the FAFSA must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, must be admitted as degree-seeking students, and if seeking a second bachelor's degree, have declared a major.
The FAFSA is also required as the application for federal student non-need based loans.
The FAFSA is not required for Federal PLUS Loans (for parents of dependent students), non-federal student loans, scholarships, and non-federal student employment.
The University of Memphis priority date for filling the FAFSA for a fall semester is March 1.
For a spring semester, the priority date for filing is October 1.
The student must also submit any other required documents in order to complete his/her application prior to being awarded.
Students are notified of any other required documents after the Student Financial Aid Office receives the FAFSA results.
