Getting Started
Applying for Financial Aid
Students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for each year that they attend and wish to be considered for aid.
- FAFSA application is available on October 1st each year
- UConn School Code: 001417
- On-time Deadline is February 15th
The Department of Education provides information regarding what happens after a student has submitted their FAFSA. View the After the FAFSA video to learn more.
After Submitting FAFSA
Once a student has been accepted into UConn and the Office of Student Financial Aid Services (OSFAS) has received their FAFSA data, we will begin creating the student’s financial aid offer for the 2022-2023 academic year.
Students will receive an email communication from our office that will direct them to access the UConn Student Administration System. Here, students can:
- Identify if there is any required documentation needed to finalize their financial aid offer
- View their financial aid offer
- Accept, reduce or decline their Financial Aid Offer (watch a “How To” video to learn more)
- View their Financial Aid College Financing Plan
The Financial Aid College Financing Plan
- Is designed to help students assess their total cost of attending UConn Health using a simplified format, listing their financial aid offer and net costs
- Is a tool whereby prospective undergraduate students are provided a clear, direct comparison between participating schools as they make a college choice
Students will be able to access the College Financing Plan in the Student Administration System after they have been awarded aid for the 2022-2023 academic year.
