Apply For Financial Aid

Seattle University requires students seeking financial assistance to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA).  Filing for the upcoming academic year begins on October 1. The state deadline for submission is at the end of June.

When asked to list the schools to which you would like your FAFSA results to be sent, be sure to list SU’s federal school code: 003790 prior to or as part of filing via the web.

Financial Aid for Transfer Students

Financial assistance is available to finance your college costs.

A FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) must be filed for EACH YEAR a student wants to be considered for financial aid eligibility. A new FAFSA is available each year on October 1^st and asks for financial data from two years ago.

Complete the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA) and find out what you may be eligible for. Priority deadline is February 1st; students who file the WASFA after that date may still be considered based on available funding.

• Noncitizen students are also encouraged to seek funding from outside scholarship sources like non-profit organizations, individuals, government agencies, foundations, and more. Please see the list below for some of the many scholarships websites students can search on here.
