How to Apply for Financial Aid

Rutgers University requires students to only file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal FAFSA to be considered for Federal, State, and University assistance.

Students are strongly encouraged to file their FAFSA electronically. FAFSA-on-the-Web is the fastest and most accurate method of applying for aid. Your information is transmitted directly to the U.S. Department of Education, and it eliminates the additional processing time associated with a paper FAFSA.
