Financial Aid

Step 1

Apply for a PIN (Personal Identification Number) at www.pin.ed.gov. The PIN serves as your signature to electronically sign your FAFSA

Step 2

Complete the Free Application for www.fafsa.ed.gov. List an email address on the FAFSA for notification purposes. The Lewis University federal school code is 001707.

Step 3

The Department of Education will process your FAFSA and send each student a Student Aid Report (SAR) by postal mail or e-mail, depending on how the FAFSA was originally submitted.

Step 4

In order to receive information from the Lewis University Office of Financial Aid Services, you must be accepted to your educational program. Please speak with your admissions advisor to ensure that you are enrolled as a degree-seeking student.

If you are selected for verification you may be required to submit additional documentation to Financial Aid Services. This additional documentation can be but is not inclusive of federal tax forms, federal w-2’s, verification forms, asset documentation, birth certificate, social security cards, etc.

Step 5

Once the verification process is complete, a financial aid award will be processed by the Financial Aid Services staff. The financial aid award letter is the confirmation of any federal, state and institutional grants, loans and work that the student is eligible for during the academic year.
