For terms of enrollment beginning
If you wish to apply for financial assistance for the 2008-2009 academic year, you should start the process by completing the Pre-Application Worksheet, which is available by going to www.fafsa.ed.gov and then clicking on FAFSA on the Web Worksheets. If you are interested in receiving any of the following funds: Federal Pell Grant, Federal Academic Competitiveness Grant Federal, SEOG Grant, Ohio and other state grants, Federal Stafford Loan (Subsidized or Unsubsidized), Student Employment, and/or a Federal Parent's Loan, you must complete this FAFSA application. As soon as possible after January 1, 2008, and after completing the FAFSA on the Web Worksheet, please go to the website, http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ to apply for the above-mentioned financial aid programs. Because all students are required to use the Web to reapply for student aid, the Federal Government will not print and mail paper Renewal FAFSAs. You (and at least one parent if you are dependent) will also need the U.S. Department of Education PIN to complete and make corrections on the WEB. You and your parents may obtain a "PIN" this year by requesting one from the following website address of: http://www.pin.ed.gov/. If you have forgotten your PIN, you can request a duplicate by going to the PIN Web site and selecting the option "Request a Duplicate PIN." From the PIN Web site, you can ask to have your PIN sent to you by e-mail or U.S. postal mail. You will receive your original or duplicate PIN in 4 hours by e-mail or in 7-10 days by postal mail. If you are applying for financial assistance and did not receive the email notice about the renewal FAFSA process, you may complete an application by going to the website address of http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ and complete the "FAFSA on the Web." Corrections to your 2008-2009 FAFSA can also be made on the WEB at the same address. Please remember that your "PIN" number is necessary to both submit the application and make corrections on the WEB. Please submit the FAFSA before April 1, 2008, to ensure the University of Northwestern Ohio the ability to provide your assistance for the 2008-2009 academic year. Also, be sure to accurately complete all forms, taking note to request that UNOH receive the results (Code 004861). Please be sure to include your pin numbers and print a copy of the Confirmation Page for your records before submitting the FAFSA. Processing time for the FAFSA is generally from 4 to 6 weeks. Student notification of assistance (award notices) will occur through the spring and summer months, generally starting in early April. Your Financial Aid Award Notice will be sent to your UNOH campus-email account. If you are selected for verification (30% of all applicants will be), your award notice will be delayed as additional forms and the 2007 Federal Tax Returns are required for the verification process. Your individual award notice process will not begin if you are selected for verification until the financial aid office receives the completed and signed Verification Form, Worksheet A, B, & C and 2007 tax returns from you. Students whose families experience a loss of income in calendar year 2008 as compared to 2007 may wish to contact a Financial Aid Counselor for information on how to proceed. The Ohio Student Choice Grant will be automatically renewed for students enrolled in a four-year Bachelor's degree program and it will be be $660 for 2008-2009. The maximum quarters of eligibility for this grant are 15 quarters. If you used the Federal Stafford Loan (Subsidized or Unsubsidized) in 2007-2008, your Stafford Loan will be automatically processed with the amount noted on your award notice this year since you completed the Master Promissory Note. If you wish to decline or request a lesser amount, please let the financial aid office know by submitting your award notice with the appropriate notations for the requested amount. The amount listed on your award should be available for your upcoming year terms of enrollment and will be sent from the current year's selected lender and Guarantee Agency. Federal Stafford Loan eligibility is $3500 per nine-month year for freshman and $4500 per nine-month year for sophomores. Junior and senior amounts are the same at $5500 per nine-month year. If you used the Federal PLUS Loan last year, and your parents completed the Master Promissory Note, then a new application is not necessary. However, your parents still need to go to www.parentanswer.com and get a pre-approval and input the requested borrowed amount. If you did not use the Federal PLUS Loan or Private Signature Loans last year and intend to use either the PLUS or Private Signature Loans last year and intend to use either the PLUS or Private Signature Loans, you will need to do a new application at www.opennet.salliemae.com. Please be sure to apply shortly after May 1st to both avoid multiple credit checks to your credit history and allow timely processing of these loans for the fall term fee payments. Information about the College Financial Aid Application Processing Time Line for students and parents and some important Filing Tips for 2008-2009 is also included.
