There are major changes and improvements coming to the 2024–25 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form. As a result, the new form will be available in December 2023, not Oct. 1.
The launch date will apply only for the 2024–25 FAFSA® form.
The changes to the FAFSA® form for the 2024–25 aid year include
expanded eligibility for federal student aid and
a more streamlined application process.
There is no deadline for FAFSA®. If you meet eligibility requirements, UD will offer available funding upon receipt
of your FAFSA® and any additional documentation required.
There is, however, a PRIORITY deadline of March 15, 2024 for the 2024-2025 aid year. If your information is complete as of this date (this
includes any verification information), UD will ensure you will receive the maximum
funding within the programs for which you may be eligible. All applications are processed
as quickly as possible on a funding availability basis. Some programs, especially
grant programs and work-study, have limited funding so the earlier UD receives your
application along will all supporting documentation, the greater chance for you to
receive funds from these particular programs.
Yes, UD does not require any additional application for financial aid. If you are applying for our Rome program, however, you will be required to complete an additional application to ensure a proper financial aid offer. (Attendance in the Rome semester usually occurs after the student has earned at least 30 credit hours at UD).
Please refer to the Apply for Financial Aid page for additional information on being selected for verification.
Yes, your eligibility for financial aid is not automatic each year. You should complete a new FAFSA® starting each October 1st for the following academic year.
NOTE: The 2024-2025 FAFSA® will not be available until December 2023.
No, your aid will not transfer. Your financial aid eligibility must be re-calculated at UD. You do not need to complete a new FAFSA®, however, you must add our school code to your existing FAFSA®. You can add our code to your current FAFSA by going to http://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa and adding 003651 to the list of schools to receive your information. You can also contact FAFSA®by calling 1.800.433.3243. Until our school code is added to your FAFSA®, UD will not be able to determine your eligibility. (Give it 3-5 business days for UD to receive the application after you submit the FAFSA®).
See the Financial Aid team page to find your specific counselor.
You should contact the Office of Financial Aid to determine if there is a problem with the acceptance of your financial aid offer.
You may contact the Student Account Services at 972-721-5144 for assistance.
Go to BannerWeb and log on. Click on 1) Financial Aid box, 2) Award Offer, and 3) Scroll down to find "Additional Payment Options" 4) Click "Add/View Resource" and fill out the form. You may submit your outside scholarships electronically to our office on the Resources/Additional Information tab. UD may have to make changes to your existing financial aid offer, if necessary. All outside scholarships are placed on our financial aid system, however, it will never show on the official financial aid notification. Student Account Services will be able to access the information to assist you in determining your balance owed.
Please read through our Withdrawal and Return of Title IV Funds (R2T4) policy here, but also call or stop by to speak with your financial aid counselor who can counsel you on the impact to your financial aid and potential for a balance owed to the University.
