| How to Apply for Financial Aid |
| At UST, we know paying for your college education is important, so we will work with you and your family to make college affordable! Each family is unique and has their own set of concerns, wants and needs that will affect their ability to pay for a college education. UST will work with you and your family and will prepare an offer of financial assistance that may include scholarships, grants, loans, and a flexible payment plan.
To apply for financial aid, all eligible students will complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) online at www.fafsa.gov. (The FAFSA needs to be submitted every year.) Once submitted, the Department of Education will process your FAFSA and forward the information on to our office. Once we receive your FAFSA we'll respond to you in one of the following ways:
- An Award Package (an offer letter that includes various forms of financial aid)
- A request for additional eligibility documentation what is this?

The 2012-2013 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is now available online! Please visit www.FAFSA.gov to complete the application online. Click Here>>
Graduate Students: Please be aware beginning July 1, 2012, the Federal Government will no longer offer graduate students subsidized student loans. Graduate students will only be eligible for unsubsidized loans. If you are attending ONLY Summer 2, you will ONLY receive unsubsidized loans. However, if you are attending both Summer 1 and 2, AND you are eligible, you may receive a subsidized loan for both sessions. You must attend 6 hours to borrow during summer, and eligibility is key.
All Federal Student Loans for the 2012-13 school year will be through the Federal Direct Loan Program. If this is your first time borrowing a Direct Loan, you'll need to sign a Master Promissory Note (MPN). To sign in and complete the MPN Click Here>>
