Transfer Students' Aid
To find out if you qualify for government aid, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form online as early as October 1. Because funding is limited, we recommend you fill out your FAFSA form between February 14 and March 1 to see what you automatically qualify for.
| Priority | Deadline |
|---|---|
| FAFSA application becomes available online | October 1 |
| Recommended submission date (due to limited funding) | February 14 |
| Priority deadline | March 1 |
Grants
Based on your FAFSA application, you may be eligible for available grants, which are awards that do not need to be repaid. Below is a list of grants you may be eligible for:
- Arizona Assurance
- Federal Pell Grant
- Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
- Financial Aid Trust Grant*
- Arizona Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership Program (AzLEAP)
- Teach Grant
- University Grant (UGrant)*
*University Grants are coordinated with other financial aid offered. If you receive a Federal Pell Grant, FSEOG, Scholarship, Qualified Tuition Reduction (QTR), or other need-based aid, your UGrant eligibility will be affected.
Loans
Loans are also a financing option, and may come from the federal or state governments, from the University, or from private sources. Loans require repayment over a set amount of time and generally are repaid with interest. Deadlines may vary.
Financial Aid Eligibility Requirements
You may also be required to submit additional information for federal aid eligibility, even if it was not required for admissions evaluation. You can meet this requirement by providing one of the following:
- Official final high school transcript showing your graduation date
- Official GED test scores sent from the GED Testing Service
- Official college transcript showing:
- Completed associate’s degree or higher
- Completed 60 transferable college credits post high school
- Completed 6 transferable college credits post high school prior to July 1st, 2012
Submitting Your Materials
We are not able to accept official documents via fax or email from students or their family members. However, your high school or college may participate in electronic submission of transcripts as long as it comes directly from a representative staff member from your school. Please check with your high school counseling office or registrar's office if you are interested in this method.
