How to Apply

Apply early to meet all deadlines. Follow these instructions to be considered for every need-based financial aid program available:

• To file an official application for financial aid, applicants should complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov. Federal Student Aid PINs are required for students and may be obtained (or duplicate PIN retrieved) at www.pin.ed.gov.
• The FAFSA is required to determine eligibility for all federal financial aid programs, including student loans.
• “University of Tampa, Tampa, FL” must be listed on the FAFSA for the University to receive information. UT’s FAFSA code is 001538.
• A few weeks after the FAFSA is submitted, applicants who provided an e-mail address will receive a message with a link to a Student Aid Report (SAR). If no e-mail address was provided, applicants will receive paper SAR documents. Students should review the SAR for accuracy and submit corrections, if necessary.
• Graduate students taking at least 8 credit hours per semester are considered full time. To be eligible for financial aid, graduate students must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and must be enrolled for a minimum of 4 credit hours per term.
