The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the application used to determine eligibility for federal and state student grants, federal work study and federal loans. The U.S. Department of Education accepts applications beginning January 1 of each year for the upcoming academic year. Go to https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa

Yes. Go to https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa to complete the form.

Santa Clara University's Federal School Code is 001326.

In order to be eligible for financial aid you must meet the following criteria:

• be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen in a degree or certificate program of study at least half-time
• make satisfactory academic progress
• not be in default on a federal student loan
• not owe a refund on any federal financial aid grant
• have a valid Social Security number
• be registered with Selective Service (if required)
• enrollment status will be calculated based only on those courses that are required for, or that can be applied as an eligible elective credit toward, a student's degree or certificate program

Graduate students are packaged with loans after completing a FAFSA. You should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) once you have been admitted in order to be considered for all federal student aid programs.

• Santa Clara University FAFSA School Code is 001326

Remember to complete the FAFSA every year to be packaged for Federal aid.

NOTE: The Financial Aid Office does not determine graduate school scholarships, fellowships or grants.  You should contact your graduate school directly for information about how to apply for your graduate school’s scholarships, fellowships and grants. 

The Master Promissory Note (MPN) is a legal document which the borrower signs as a promise to repay your loan(s) and any accrued interest and fees to the U.S. Department of Education. It also explains the terms and conditions of your loan(s). Unless your school does not allow more than one loan to be made under the same MPN, you can borrow additional Direct Loans on a single MPN for up to 10 years.

The Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) must be signed by the borrower prior to the school certification and prior to the disbursement of any loan funds to the student's account. The completion of the MPN is generally signed at the time the application is submitted and can be signed electronically during the application process.

If the borrower applies for the loan each year, then the borrower only has to complete the MPN once – the first year these funds are borrowed for you. The borrower, however, must re-apply for a new loan every year.

If you accept a Federal Direct Loan, federal and institutional regulations require you to complete an entrance counseling tutorial, where you will learn important information about repayment, deferment, forbearance and cancellation. Students meet this requirement by completing the online the entrance counseling tutorial at studentaid.gov.

If you have not previously received a Federal Direct Loan, the federal government requires you to complete entrance counseling to ensure that you understand the responsibilities and obligations you are assuming.

To qualify for federal student aid (grants, loans, and work-study funds), you have to meet certain requirements.

Student must be enrolled in at least half-time status to be eligible for federal funding.

You can also look at the “Your Account” section of the SCU Pay portal for a breakdown of fees and aid. This is real-time account data so it may differ from an actual billing statement!!

Anticipated aid will always appear on the billing statement on the first of the month that the Tuition payment is due. So all you would need to do is pay the balance that is not covered by your anticipated aid.
