Rutgers University requires students to only file the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) or the
Renewal FAFSA
to be considered for Federal, State, and University assistance.
Students are strongly encouraged to file their
FAFSA
on the Web—the
fastest and most accurate method of applying for aid. Your
information is transmitted directly to the U.S. Department of
Education, and it eliminates the additional processing time
associated with a paper FAFSA.
Rutgers University’s School Code:
002629
Which FAFSA to complete
Aid is NOT automatically renewable; students
must apply each school year for which they are requesting
assistance.

2009-2010 FAFSA Deadlines
Continuing students must file the FAFSA by

to be considered for campus based assistance; those that file after
this date will be considered only if remaining funds are available.

to be considered for 2009-2010 TAG.
Additional Forms
Depending on the type of aid that is offered
to you, additional forms may have to be completed. For example,
Federal Loan borrowers must complete a Master Promissory Note, and
Federal Work-Study recipients would complete a Job Placement Form. Instructions on completing such forms will be included with your
Financial Aid Award Letter.
