How do I complete my FAFSA and have it sent to Immaculata?

How do I find my financial aid award or find out if I have any outstanding financial aid requirements?

You can find this information by logging onto MyIU and going to SSIU, then Financial Aid tab. Outstanding requirements may include items such as verification documents, entrance counseling, selective service, Title IV authorization, etc.  Your financial aid award is found under Financial Aid > Award > Award for Aid Year.

How do I complete my entrance counseling and promissory note?

What is verification?

Verification is a random selection by the Department of Education for the Financial Aid Office to confirm that the information supplied on your FAFSA is accurate.  The completion of this process is necessary before any federal funds can be paid toward your student account.

Do I have to reapply for financial aid every year?

Yes. After your first year, you will have the option to renew your FAFSA each year. The renewal will pull over your demographic information from the previous year.

How do I apply for a Pell Grant and other types of need-based aid?

Submit a FAFSA.

I received an outside scholarship. Should I report it to the Financial Aid Office?

Yes. If you are receiving any kind of financial aid from university or government sources, you must report the outside scholarship to the Financial Aid Office.

What is the best way to stay informed about my financial aid and student account?
