FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCESS

Maryville College uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to administer all federal, state and need-based institutional programs. The FAFSA must be filed every year to qualify for Financial Assistance.

THE PROCESS

After January 1 of each year you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit it to the federal processor. You can apply on-line and transmit the FAFSA electronically* at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you plan on signing the FAFSA electronically, you and your parent (if you are a dependent student), must apply for a PIN number prior to completing the FAFSA online. You may apply for a PIN number at www.pin.ed.gov. We recommend that students apply for a PIN number to not only electronically sign their FAFSA, but track the processing of the FAFSA, make corrections online if necessary, and access all of their federal student aid records online, including federal student loan information.

NOTE: Be sure to include Maryville College's school code (003505) on your FAFSA.

* In compliance with the Federal Paper Reduction Act, the Department of Education is no longer supplying paper FAFSA forms to Maryville College. The form is available to print and mail-in from this website or by calling the Department of Education at 1-800-433-3243.

IMPORTANT information...

  • To be considered for a need-based Tennessee Student Assistance Awards, students should complete the FAFSA by February 1.
  • Your FAFSA will allow you to be awarded aid for one academic year. You must file a FAFSA renewal in subsequent years to continue to receive financial aid.
  • To learn more about the process of applying for federal financial aid and the types of federal financial aid programs available you may access “The Student Guide” at www.studentaid.ed.gov/pubs. The Student Guide is a publication provided by the Department of Education to help educate students and families regarding federal financial aid.

If you are selected by the Department of Education for verification of your FAFSA information, the Financial Aid Office will request additional documentation from you before they can prepare an award package.

It is important to meet the priority deadlines and to respond quickly to requests from the Financial Aid Office for additional information since some Federal and State awards are issued on a first-come, first-served basis.
