You may file the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

*If you need federal loans or Federal Work Study by the beginning of the academic year, it is strongly advised that the FAFSA is filed by July 15. If you file after this date, we cannot guarantee your funds will be here by the beginning of the academic year. You may file the FAFSA throughout the academic year or term you are enrolled. However, you must be planning to attend or be in attendance to file for federal aid. You cannot apply for federal aid after the year or term you are attending has ended.

** The Financial Aid Award Notification is your official notice of financial aid administered by the Office of Financial Aid & Scholarship Programs and will not include any academic awards you may be receiving.

 
Completing the FAFSA/Renewal FAFSA
Graduate students are considered financially independent of their parents for Federal Student Loans. As a graduate student, you do not report parental information on the FAFSA. Syracuse University's Department of Education Title IV code is 002882.
 
When you file the FAFSA, the Department of Education will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR). If you do not receive a SAR within four weeks of filing the FAFSA, you should contact the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-433-3243.
