Before
we link you to the
Financial Aid homepage,
we want you to take
a moment
to familiarize yourself
with some basic terms and
procedures.
Financial
aid funds are designed
to assist you in paying
your educational costs.
We
encourage all students
to complete the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) as soon after Jan.
1 as possible.
The FAFSA forms are available
from your high
school counselor's office,
local library, or UCO's
Student Financial Aid Office. |
| |
| By
completing the FAFSA, you
will make application for
the following
programs: |
 |
|
Federal
and State Grants -
Requires no repayment
or work obligation.
State grants are awarded
on a first-come, first-served
basis, to residents
of Oklahoma only. |
|
 |
|
Federal
Work Study - Enables
students to work on
or off campus while
attending college
– offers a more
flexible schedule
than employment outside
of the university. |
|
|
|
Loans
- Borrowed money which
must be repaid with
interest. |
|
| |
|
The
FAFSA
requires that you
report income information
from the previous year's
tax return. Once you complete
your application, allow
four to six weeks for
a response.
For
a quicker response,
file your FAFSA electronically
over the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
To speed up your online
application even more
we recommend you apply
for your PIN (Personal
Identification Number)
by visiting www.pin.ed.gov.
Other financial aid documents
may be required at the
institution you plan to
attend. Prompt reply to
all information requested
will speed up your notification
of eligibility for financial
aid. You may contact UCO's
Financial Aid Office at
(405)
974-3334 if you
need further assistance
completing your financial
aid paperwork.
