Applying for Financial Aid

FAFSA Form Required

The University of Washington only requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, called the "FAFSA."

• Deadline: FAFSA must be received by February 28.
• Federal Code: University of Washington-Seattle, Code #003798
• Student Aid Reports: The University of Washington does not accept paper copies of Student Aid Reports (SARs).
• Complete the FAFSA online

Deadline!

February 28 - We recommend that your completed FAFSA be mailed or transmitted by February 15. If you do not meet the priority deadline, you will be considered for limited types of aid (most likely only the Stafford Loan programs will be available).

Additional Forms

If you are admitted, a scholarship application will be sent with your admission packet.
