& Graduate Students:
Financial Aid Links
There are many resources available for
financial assistance. Included here are a few for your investigation.
Free
Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Complete a Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or a Renewal FAFSA and return it to
the federal processor as soon as possible AFTER January 1. A
FAFSA must be completed each year to be considered for federal funds.
You may prefer to apply
online by using FAFSA on the Web.
We strongly encourage this method of applying since it is faster and
generally more accurate because the online version has built-in edits.
Apply for financial aid at the same time, or even before, you apply
for admissions. Florida
Dental Association (FDA) Loan
The
Florida Dental Association sponsors a loan
program for qualified Florida residents. Applications
for post-doctoral loans will be considered only after all undergraduate
loan applications have been reviewed. Loans may not exceed $15,000
per applicant, or $5,000 per year. For information contact:
Chairman, Task Group on Student Loans, Florida Dental Association,
1111 E. Tennessee Street, Suite 102, Tallahassee, FL 32308-6914,
telephone (800) 877-9922.
