THE
APPLICATION PROCESS
To apply for financial aid at DBU, applicants
must complete the following items in a timely manner. In general,
all application materials must be fully completed no later
than 30 days before registration. Otherwise, the student will
be expected to make payment arrangements with the Cashier's
Office using personal resources at the time of registration.
Late aid applications will be processed after registration
for aid as it becomes available. Each scholarship program
has an individual deadline that must be met in order to be
considered for an award from that particular scholarship program.
1. The Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) is available upon request from the Office
of Financial Aid or from a local high school. Applicants should
complete information on themselves and their spouses or parents
(if applicable), and obtain the appropriate signatures as
outlined in the directions for the FAFSA. The FAFSA can be
filed with the government processor in one of the following
ways:
- By mail: This method will require four
to six weeks to receive a Student Aid Report (SAR); or,
- By FAFSA on the web: Submitting the FAFSA
to the government processor can be done over the Internet.
The address to the website is http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.
If the student named DBU as a school to receive
the Student Aid Report, an electronic Institutional Student
Information Record (ISIR) will be received by DBU and used
by the Office of Financial Aid to determine the student's
eligibility. The priority deadline for a student to complete
his/her file in order to receive federal or state financial
aid is May 1 for the fall semester, October 5 for the spring
semester, and March 5 for summer terms.
Information reported by students filing for
federal student aid is used in a formula established by the
U.S. Congress. The formula determines the Expected Family
Contribution (EFC), an amount the student and the student's
family are expected to contribute to the cost of the student's
education.
2. The DBU Supplemental Application for
Financial Aid and Scholarships, available from the Office
of Financial Aid, must be submitted annually by every financial
aid applicant. Continuing students wishing to apply for institutional
scholarships must submit the supplemental application by March
15.
3. If the student is selected for verification,
a process required by the U.S. Department of Education for
some students applying for federal aid, the student will have
to submit additional documentation as requested by the Office
of Financial Aid.
