Financial Aid Application Process

To determine financial eligibility for aid, graduate students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at https://studentaid.gov/ . Information will be received electronically by schools listed on the FAFSA within 72 hours. The Mount's federal code is 002778.

This form must be filed annually. Because of the processing time involved, students are advised to complete and file the FAFSA by April 15th of the academic year prior to the start of classes. Federal regulations prohibit us from disbursing funding if a valid FAFSA is not received, and loan origination has not taken place before the last date of attendance for the semester. You must have a valid FAFSA with an EFC and we must originate your loan before the last date of attendance. If you file after the April 15th deadline, you must make an appointment to speak with a financial aid counselor who can validate that you have enough time to request a loan.
