Your Financial Aid Award Offers
The Student Financial Aid Office has placed an award offer in your Genisys account for you to review. Your next step is to login to your Genisys account and submit your decision for the award (see instructions for visiting Genisys, below). Once you have logged into the Genisys system you will navigate to the Accept Award Offer page to review the award information.
There are often additional forms needed after an award offer is accepted, as the financial aid application process has several steps.

More information on the Graduate PLUS loan program is available here. Students must have a FAFSA on file prior to requesting the loan application.
