If you are planning to use any type of financial aid (this includes all athletic, honors, and college* scholarships; Federal, state, and college* grants; Federal student and parent loans) to help pay your charges for the 2008-2009 Academic Year you must complete all of the following steps prior to the deadlines listed below.

1. Complete and submit to our office the Financial Aid Application for Undergraduate Programs.
   

2. Complete and submit to Federal Student Aid Programs the 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid/FAFSA.” You may have already received a Renewal FAFSA in the mail.

Be sure to enter the L-R Title IV code 002941 in Step Six. It takes approximately four to six weeks to process this form.  
   

3. Keep copies of your FAFSA and the resulting Student Aid Report (SAR), your, and your parents’ Federal Income Tax Return forms (including all schedules and W2s) readily available. If your SAR is selected for verification, our office is required to collect copies of these documents for your financial aid file. Our office may send you a letter requesting these and possibly other forms, please submit them to our office within ten days. Failure to respond to a letter requesting additional information may jeopardize your eligibility for aid.

This information will be sent to you in your financial aid package. Read all of the information provided in the financial aid package carefully and respond within twenty days.
