Students applying for the Federal Financial Aid Program (known as Title IV) must comply with the following procedures in a timely manner. A student’s noncompliance may result in the loss of potential benefits and will result in a protracted and negative institutional registration experience if the student needs the federal resources to assist in his or her educational expenses.
The following procedures are strongly advised:
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). After the FAFSA has been processed, a Student Aid Report (SAR) will be emailed to you. Once you receive your SAR, check it for accuracy of information. The Financial Aid Office (FAO) will electronically retrieve it; however, Oakwood University must be listed as one of the schools of attendance in order for us to retrieve it.
- Students applying for scholarships through Oakwood University must submit all required documentation by the specified deadline dates.
- An entrance interview must be completed online at www.studentloans.gov by all first-time loan borrowers before loan proceeds can be applied to the student’s account.
