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, students should complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov. Federal Student Aid PINs are required for students, as well as parents of dependent students, and may be obtained (or duplicate PIN retrieved) at www.pin.ed.gov.
• This application determines eligibility for all federal, state and institutional need-based financial aid programs, including the Pell Grant and 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.
