Students applying for the Federal Student Aid Program (known as Title IV) must comply with the following procedures in a timely manner. Failure to complete the process may result in a loss of Title IV funds.
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application can be submitted either online by logging in at www.studentaid.gov, or by downloading the myStudentAid app. Once the FAFSA has been processed, a Student Aid Report (SAR) will be emailed to the student and a copy will be transmitted to the Financial Aid Office (FAO) if Oakwood University’s school code is included on (001033) on the FAFSA.
