Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the most important step for many students as they create their financial readiness plan. The FAFSA reviews household income, available assets, and overall household size to create a need assessment that is unique to you. This is sent to your school of choice and used to determine eligibility for multiple types of aid. The FAFSA can be completed in three easy steps and generally takes most people less than one hour.
- Create a FAFSA Login (FSA ID)
- Collect the documents you will need
- Complete the application at fafsa.gov
Your FAFSA results will be sent to Regent as long as you provide our school code (030913). The Department of Education provides more information regarding the FAFSA here.
Priority Deadline: Regent University does not impose a FAFSA priority deadline, however we do recommend that students who wish to pursue federal aid submit their FAFSA at least two months prior to the payment deadline. It is normal for some FASFA applications to require additional student paperwork with the institution and early submission allows the student time to understand, collect, and submit any follow up document items needed. Students will receive an email once their FAFSA is received to guide them to their next steps in the application process.
