Applying to UW-Superior

You can file your FAFSA online any time after October 1 for the following academic year. For 2018-2019 UW-Superior has a priority deadline of January 15. This means your FAFSA and all required documents must be complete in our office by that date to receive the best award package available. Students will need to use 2016 tax and income information for the 2018-2019 FAFSA. You can file your FAFSA at any time during the academic year and still receive aid for fall/spring term, however, your file must be complete with us no later than one week prior to the end of the last semester attended. You must file a new FAFSA for every academic year.

We have over 250 veteran students attending UW-Superior. There is also a high percentage of non-traditional students along with traditional aged students in the classroom, which means that you are likely to be sitting next to someone who may have a similar life experience as you.

Students who are U.S. citizens, or eligible non-citizens, enrolled at half-time status or more, may qualify for financial aid. Some restrictions apply. Pell grant recipients may be eligible if they are less than half time. While it may be true that not all students qualify for grants (money which does not have to be paid back), all students who apply for financial aid and meet the general eligibility requirements are eligible for some type of financial aid, including loans. In addition, financial conditions within the family may change over the course of the year (ex. layoffs, divorce/separation, etc.) and aid may be adjusted to reflect the circumstances faced by the family.

You should plan approximately 4 weeks processing time once we have your FAFSA information, with prompt submission of additional requirements from you. When you are awarded financial aid, along with additional instructions, new students will receive a paper financial aid award notification in the mail while current students will receive notification via email. You will also be able to view your financial aid award on your Student Center.
