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) for each academic year. The application may be submitted either online by logging in at fafsa.gov or by completing a FAFSA PDF that must be printed and mailed for processing. You must add Oakwood University’s school code: 001033 to your application for your information
to be made available to the Financial Aid Office. Once the FAFSA has been processed, you will receive a FAFSA Submission Summary and the Financial Aid Office (FAO) will have access to your FAFSA data electronically, if Oakwood University’s school code (001033) is included in the application.
2. If you are selected for verification or there is missing/incomplete or conflicting information, you may be required to submit documents as requested by the Financial Aid Office.
