Applying for Financial Aid

If you wish to apply for any need-based financial aid you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Designate on your FAFSA that you want your application information sent to the University of Puget Sound by including school code #003797. You must reapply for need-based financial aid by completing the FAFSA each year

If you are an Early Decision admission applicant and wish to apply for need-based financial aid, you must also complete the College Scholarship Service (CSS) Financial Aid Profile form. Students applying under the regular admission timeline do not need to complete the CSS/Financial Aid Profile.

You may also be required to submit one (or more) additional Financial Aid Forms or Documents in order for us to continue processing your financial aid award. If you have any questions as to which documents you need to complete, please check your financial aid status on the Cascade Web Menu or contact us at 800.396.7192.

Several financial aid programs have limited funding. By completing your application by the priority deadlines below, you will have the best opportunity to receive consideration for financial aid from all funding sources.
