Applying for Federal Student Aid
In order to apply for federal student aid, including student loans, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The University of Denver’s school code is 001371. Remember that you should complete the FAFSA each academic year in order to remain eligible for federal student aid.
Here are the steps for applying for financial aid:
- Apply for admission to the University of Denver.
We cannot process your financial aid application until you are officially admitted to the University.
- Create your Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID.
You will use this ID every year you apply for financial aid and to complete Master Promissory Notes for federal student loans.
- Complete the FAFSA.
The FAFSA is used to determine eligibility for federal student aid and must be completed each academic year in order to remain eligible. Please reference the charts below to determine which FAFSA to complete based on your desired start date.
