Accepting 金融援助 Offers

Accepting 金融援助 Offer Basics

The Office of Student 金融援助 sends emails to 学生 通过 their FAU email account notifying them that financial aid offers have been posted to the system. To receive a deferment of your tuition and fees, you must accept your financial aid offers 在线 通过 MYFAU (accepting an amount which is sufficient to cover your tuition) by the end of the drop/add period.

Students are encouraged to check their FAU Email account on a regular basis. Email notifications are the primary communication between 学生 and the FAU Office of Student 金融援助.

重要提示:

  • Prioritize accepting the most beneficial forms of financial aid. Begin with gift aid, such as scholarships and grants, followed by self-help aid like work-study, and then consider borrowing money through direct student loans. Private loans should only be considered after exhausting other options. 更多的信息 在这里.
