PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS-
UNDERGRADUATE FINANCIAL AID
HOW TO APPLY

To apply for financial aid at Syracuse University and receive a Financial Aid Award, you must complete two required forms:

1. College Scholarship Service Financial Aid Profile (CSS PROFILE)
-- Students whose parents are divorced or separated are not required to complete the CSS Noncustodial Parent's Statement. However, they may be required to complete the SU Noncustodial Parent Statement. You will be notified if this application is required.

-- Students whose parents own a business must complete the
CSS Business/Farm Supplement. You will be notified to file this required form if it pertains to your family.

2. Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

Eligibility for need-based financial aid is established from the information that you provide on these two forms. We encourage you to submit these forms on line by using the links above. You should apply for financial aid at the same time that you apply for admission to Syacuse University. You do not have to wait for an admissions decision before you complete the CSS Profile or the FAFSA.
