Application & Eligibility

Students who want to be considered for financial aid at SCSU must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.studentaid.gov using our school code: 001406. Limited financial aid is available for eligible non-citizens. Once the FAFSA is signed and submitted, SCSU should receive your information electronically within 3-5 business days. In some cases, after receiving your FAFSA, the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships may require additional documents in order to complete your file for aid eligibility. Requested documents must be submitted to our office before your award amount can be finalized.

To be eligible for financial assistance students must be officially accepted by University Admissions to participate in a degree program and enrolled at least half-time (4.5 credits or more). For additional eligibility requirements please visit our Financial Aid Process page.

Verification Process

If your FAFSA is selected for a process called verification, you will receive a notification from a company called Inceptia that will guide you through the verification process. Verification documents must be submitted directly to Inceptia. For more information please visit our Verification page.
