Step 1: Fill out your FAFSA

Apply for Federal Financial Aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Apply even if you are in the process of being admitted rather than waiting to be officially admitted.

2023-2024 FAFSA

For students beginning or continuing their program during Summer 2023 through Spring 2024, please complete the 2023-2024 FAFSA. Be sure to include our school code: 004883.

Deadlines: For Undergrad students, the priority deadline to file the 2023-2024 FAFSA is January 15, 2023. This deadline is used in conjunction with other criteria when determining eligibility for certain types of funds available at OHSU. We strongly suggest you complete your FAFSA early. Please keep in mind when completing FAFSA online that the federal processor operates on Eastern Standard Time.

Graduate students:  To reduce any potential delays in awarding, please apply by January 15th, 2023.

Please note that your application for Financial Aid will not be reviewed until you have been formally admitted to a financial aid eligible program at OHSU. View eligible programs

Step 2: Review for additional requirements

Once your FAFSA is received by OHSU, we will determine if additional information is needed.

If additional information is needed, you will be sent a request through email.  Make sure to keep your email and mailing address updated with our office. Any requested documents can be returned to us via email. You can monitor the status of these outstanding requirements on the Student Information System.

If no information is needed, you will be sent an email indicating that we have received the application.  This will be sent to the email listed on your federal financial aid application.

Step 3: Await review by OHSU

Once you are admitted to a financial aid eligible program and all information requested has been submitted, your financial aid application will be reviewed by a counselor in our office. If additional information is needed upon review, you will be contacted.

Step 4: Review and accept your award

We will notify you via email when your financial aid award is complete and ready to review and accept online. If you expect a financial resource, such as employer tuition benefits or scholarships, that is not listed on your award, please submit a Reporting Additional Resources form to our office first. If your enrollment plans will differ from what is anticipated on your award, please submit an Enrollment Plan Update form (also found on our Financial Aid homepage: https://www.ohsu.edu/education/financial-aid).  We will revise your award based on the updated information and contact you when the revised award is ready for your review.

Step 5: Keep us updated

Whenever your contact information, enrollment plans, and/or financial resources change, be sure to let us know. The best way to reach our office is via email at finaid@ohsu.edu.
