Financial Aid
Get started
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is your gateway to getting the financial assistance you need to complete your college degree.
The FAFSA typically opens every Oct 1. Be sure to apply early to ensure prompt processing. Besides student loans, the FAFSA can also qualify you for scholarships.
It does not cost anything to fill out a FAFSA and usually takes less than an hour to complete. Remember, to receive aid, you must have full and clear admission into the program.
- FSA ID, which you’ll create at StudentAid.gov
- OU Federal School Code: 003184
- Social Security Number
- Driver’s License
- Bank Statements
- W-2 forms and tax returns from two years ago. You may use an estimated income; however, OU may require you to verify your income.
To apply for federal financial aid, you must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. Apply early so you can receive your official aid offer as soon as possible.
When completing your FAFSA, make sure you choose the correct year depending on when you plan on enrolling in courses.
- 2024-2025 FAFSA includes Spring 2024, Summer 2024, and Fall 2024
Only courses in degree-seeking programs may receive aid.
