Southwest University Students

Dear Students,

The pandemic we are currently facing raises unforeseen challenges for our institution. Southwest University's mission is to provide our students with a safe and healthy learning environment. To help mitigate some of the uncertainty, we have implemented heavy precautions on a daily basis. Along with increased safety measures, we have provided a COVID-19 handbook and action plan regarding the reopening of the campus. The return of residential classes are progressing in the forthcoming months, and specialty labs are currently being conducted.

It is our duty to assure you and your families that the institution is carrying every precaution made necessary by the local and state government. Above all, we are committed to putting the health of our students, faculty, and staff before anything else.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

HOW DO I APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID?

The fastest way to apply for financial aid is by logging on to www.fafsa.ed.gov . By filing your free application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online, you insure its accuracy and the information goes directly to the federal processor, which means you receive your Student Aid Report sooner. It's fast, convenient, and user friendly. If you require a paper application, you may contact Southwest University's financial aid office and one will be mailed to you. Upon request from the Financial Aid Office, you may need to provide additional documents such as student and/or parent tax returns, verification of untaxed income or other documents required to determine eligibility.

The Financial Aid Office will mail you award notification approximately 3-6 weeks after receipt of your Student Aid Report (depending on the time of year) only if you have already been accepted for admission to Southwest University.
How much assistance do I qualify for?

Your eligibility for the need based financial aid programs is determined by substracting your Effective Family Contribution (EFC) as determined by your Student Aid Report, from the cost of attendance for your course of study. Cost of attendance includes tuition and fees, books and supplies, housing, personal and transportation costs. Charges for tuition and fees can be found in the Tuition & Fees section of the current Southwest University Catalog. These costs are subject to change.
