Now is the time students and families should be completing the 2009-10 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for Federal financial aid this summer and next school year. The FAFSA is done online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. You will need you Dept of Education PIN as your electronic signature, and you can sign up for a PIN at www.pin.ed.gov if you do not have one or lost yours. Award letter packets for continuing students will start to go in the mail at the end of April and continue through the summer. Remember that the earlier you apply, the better financial aid package you will receive (depending on eligibility).
If you were selected for verification, please return the documents requested to the Enrollment Service Center in Vermil
lion as soon as possible as we cannot process financial aid awards until verification is done.
It’s not too early to start searching and applying for scholarships for next year. For information on regional scholarships, click on the Outside Scholarships link at www.dsu.edu/financial-aid/scholarships.aspx. You can also contact Darla Thompson, DSU Scholarship Coordinator, at
