We understand that the financial aid process and award packages can be daunting, and we're committed to making sure your experience is as smooth as possible. That's why we've created 91¶¶Ňő'sĚýUltimate Guide to Financial Aid.
Ěý
Applying for financial aid is easier than you might think, especially with our team supporting you. Follow these simple steps to maximize your aid opportunities. Remember: we’re with you at each step, so you’re never on your own in this process.
Your first step is to submit your application for admission (and get accepted). Once you’ve applied and been admitted to 91¶¶Ňő, you’re automatically evaluated for academic merit scholarships – no separate form needed. Initial entrance scholarships for first-year students range from $40,000 to $64,000 over four years ($10,000 to $16,000 per year)Ěýas noted above, and you’ll receive one with your acceptance if you qualify. These scholarships are guaranteed for 4 years as long as you remain a full-time student and meet minimum GPA requirements.
Tip: Apply early! 91¶¶Ňő has rolling admissions, but applying by our priority deadlines ensures you also meet priority financial aid deadlines. Early applicants get admissions decisions (and merit scholarship notifications) sooner, giving you more time to plan financially.
The FAFSA is the most important form for need-based financial aid – it’s how you access federal grants, loans, work-study, and even Georgia state aid like HOPE & Zell Miller Scholarships. We strongly encourage every family to file the FAFSA, regardless of income, because it’s the key to unlocking many sources of assistance. The FAFSA becomes available each year around October 1 for the next academic year. Try to submit it as early as possible – ideally by January or February of your senior year – to meet priority aid deadlines and maximize your aid eligibility.
91¶¶Ňő’s FAFSA Code: When you fill out the FAFSA, list 91¶¶Ňő (school code 001600) so that we receive your info.
Tip: Don’t wait! Even if you’re still applying for admission or haven’t decided on a college, go ahead and file the FAFSA early. You can list multiple schools. Meeting 91¶¶Ňő’s priority FAFSA deadline (usually around February 15) ensures you get full consideration for aid and scholarships. And remember – the FAFSA is free to submit (ignore any websites asking for payment). Need help with the FAFSA? We’re happy to assist (and we host FAFSA 101 workshops to walk you through it!)
Once you’ve been admitted to 91¶¶Ňő and submitted your FAFSA, our Financial Aid Office will put together a personalized aid offer for you. As soon as we have your FAFSA data (typically starting in late fall or early winter of senior year for early applicants), we’ll email you a financial aid award letter detailing all the aid you qualify for. This aid package will include:
What to do when you get your offer: Read it carefully with your family. We know all the numbers can be confusing, so we’re here to explain anything you don’t understand. Your award letter will include instructions for next steps. Generally, you’ll log in to our WesPortal system to accept or decline each part of your aid offer (for example, you’ll confirm which scholarships and grants you’re accepting – free money, yay! – and whether you plan to use the offered loans or not). We’ll also tell you if we need any additional documents at this stage.
Tip: Stay on top of your email. We send important notifications if we’re missing something (like verification documents – see FAQ below). The sooner you complete any outstanding requirements, the sooner we can finalize and credit your aid.
After reviewing your package, it’s time to accept your financial aid officially. You’ll do this through our online portal by accepting awards and signing any necessary documents. A few things to take care of in this step:
At this point, you’ll have officially accepted your aid for the year. Congrats! Remember that financial aid isn’t a one-time thing – you’ll repeat the FAFSA each year and we’ll renew your aid package, adjusting as needed for any changes in your family’s situation or educational costs. But we’ll remind you about that when the time comes.
Even after you’ve taken care of the paperwork, we know you and your family might have more questions. We encourage you to stay in touch with our Financial Aid Office to ensure you feel comfortable with your college financing plan. This could include:
Tip: Keep communicating. We genuinely mean it when we say we’re here to help make 91¶¶Ňő affordable for your family. If something is unclear or you’re worrying about any aspect of paying for college, contact us sooner rather than later. We can often find solutions together. As one of our core promises: “91¶¶Ňő’s financial aid office can walk you through the process and get you where you need to be”Ěý– from start to finish, we’ve got your back!
Below are the frequently asked questions about FAFSA and Financial Aid. If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
A: The FAFSA stands for Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It’s a single online application (at Studentaid.gov) that the government and colleges use to determine your eligibility for financial aid – including federal grants, loans, and work-study, as well as many state aid programs. Every student who wants financial aid should complete the FAFSA. It’s free to file, and it’s not as daunting as it sounds. The form asks for financial information about your family (like income and taxes) to calculate how much aid you qualify for. Bottom line: Submit the FAFSA so you can access available funds to help pay for college. Even if you think your family income is too high for need-based aid, filing the FAFSA ensures you’re considered for all options – and it’s required for federal student loans and some merit scholarships too. Don’t worry, we’ll help you if you need it!
A: For most students, the FAFSA is the only application needed for financial aid at 91¶¶Ňő. We do not require the CSS Profile or any additional institutional financial aid form. If you’re a Georgia resident, as mentioned above, the FAFSA also covers your application for HOPE, Zell Miller, and GTEG state aid. (Alternatively, Georgia offers the GSFAPP on the GAfutures website for state aid only, but if you do the FAFSA, you don’t need to do GSFAPP.) The only other “forms” you might encounter would be verification documents (which we’ll request only if you’re selected for FAFSA verification) or perhaps separate scholarship applications for a few of our special programs. For instance, 91¶¶Ňő’s premier scholarships (like specific talent or interest-based awards) may require an interview, audition, or portfolio, but we will notify you if you’re eligible to apply for any of those. In short: focus on your admission application and FAFSA – those unlock the majority of aid available.
A: We understand that the FAFSA may not tell the whole story of your family’s finances. If you have a significant change in circumstance (like a job loss, unusual medical expenses, etc.) or something that isn’t reflected in the tax info on your FAFSA, let us know. 91¶¶Ňő has an appeal process where we can review additional documentation and potentially adjust your aid offer to reflect your current need. Also, if a change happens mid-year (after you’ve received aid), don’t hesitate to reach out – we can’t promise an increase in every case, but we’ll do everything we can to find you extra assistance if warranted. Our counselors are compassionate and will guide you through the appeal or special circumstance consideration process. Additionally, we can help with advice on budgeting, finding additional scholarships, or setting up a payment plan to spread payments if needed. The key is: communicate with us. We’re on your side and want to help keep you on track at 91¶¶Ňő.
A: No, you are not required to borrow loans if you don’t need or want them. When we create your financial aid award offer, we include federal student loans as an option because many students choose to use them as a tool to invest in their education. However, it’s entirely up to you and your family to decide. You can accept the amount you’re comfortable with or decline the loans. 91¶¶Ňő’s approach is to maximize scholarships and grants (gift money) first, then present loans as a secondary resource to cover any remaining gap. Many students use the federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans because they have low fixed interest rates and flexible repayment, but again, the choice is yours. If you decline a loan or take a smaller amount, just be sure you have another plan (like family contributions or a payment plan) to cover your bill. We’re happy to discuss what loan level, if any, makes sense for you. And remember, loans can be reduced or canceled even after you’ve accepted them, if you change your mind or get additional funds. We’ll work with you to ensure your financing plan is as comfortable as possible.
A: Some families see the word “verification” and worry—but don’t stress. Verification is a routine process in which some FAFSA applicants are selected to provide supporting documents. If you’re selected, it doesn’t mean you did anything wrong or that you won’t receive aid; it simply means we need to collect some documentation, such as copies of W-2s or a verification worksheet, to confirm the information on your FAFSA.
The Financial Aid Office will tell you exactly what is needed. Simply submit those documents using the instructions we provide. Once everything is verified, we’ll finalize your aid offer. Your grants and loans won’t be held up as long as you complete the process. Don’t panic—we’re here to help you through it and answer your questions. Many families complete verification every year without any issues.
A: 91¶¶Ňő’s Business Office will send you a tuition bill for each semester, typically in July for the fall and December for the spring. The bill will show your charges (tuition, fees, housing, etc.) minus your financial aid (grants, scholarships, loans that are applied). The remaining balance is what you owe out-of-pocket for that semester. Many families choose to set up a monthly payment plan to spread that balance over several months – this can make budgeting easier. For example, instead of one large payment in August, you might pay in 5 smaller installments from August to December. We do offer installment plans; information on how to enroll in one will come with your bill (or you can contact the Business Office to set it up). If your family prefers to pay the semester in full up front, that’s fine too. We just want to be flexible so that payments can fit your budget. Important: your financial aid (scholarships, grants, accepted loans) will be credited to your account at the start of each semester, as long as you’ve completed all requirements. So be sure you’ve signed any loan promissory notes, completed verification, etc., before the semester begins. If you have any concerns about making a payment, talk to us – we can often find a solution or short-term deferment to help.
