Federal Aid at USU Eastern

In addition to scholarships, federal aid can help bridge the gap between your finances and what's needed to accomplish your academic goals.

Apply for Aid

Payment

FAFSA

To receive federal financial aid, you will need to complete the FAFSA before our published deadlines. What you will need in order to file:

  1. USU's FAFSA code: 003677.
  2. Your Social Security Number on your application for admission. If you've already applied and didn't include your SSN, you can report it to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
  3. FSA ID, which you can get through the FAFSA website.

Visit fafsa.gov to complete the application.

While scholarships are separate from federal aid, some scholarship applications include FAFSA submission as part of their eligibility criteria. All students eligible to submit a FAFSA are highly encouraged to do so.
