Important Financial Aid Information
Financial Aid for the 2019-2020 Academic Year
Beginning October 1, 2018 students will be able to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and complete the FGCU Foundation Scholarship Application for the 2019-2020 school year.
Students and parents can simplify the FAFSA by retrieving their 2017 tax return data directly from the IRS using the data retrieval tool. Using the data retrieval tool is the easiest way to provide your tax information and is the best way of ensuring that your FAFSA has accurate tax return information. By filing this application, you are applying for federal and state grants, college Work Study, and student loans. Go to www.fafsa.gov to complete your application.
FGCU Foundation scholarships are awarded annually on the basis of academic achievement, financial need, major of study and/or other specifications set by donors. All current students should apply for FGCU Foundation scholarships. Completing a FAFSA form is not required to be eligible for FGCU Foundation scholarships; however, it is highly recommended to complete a FAFSA annually in order to maximize all need-based financial aid and scholarship opportunities.

Students are encouraged to complete their applications early. Students who apply by January 1st will be given priority.
