Follow these steps to apply for financial aid and begin your climb at BU!
The first step is to file your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). It's free to file and you'll need to file each year while you're enrolled. This will help determine your eligibility for grants, loans, work-study jobs, and some types of scholarships.
To receive financial aid, there are certain eligibility requirements you'll need to meet before applying and to maintain after you're enrolled.
The FSA ID is a unique username and password you'll need to access all Federal Student Aid websites. You'll use it for multiple years so we recommend you store it in a safe location that you will remember. If you're a dependent student, your parent will need to create their own parent FSA ID for use on these sites as well.
Each year, Bloomsburg University awards $9 million in scholarship funds - with $2.6 million awarded to incoming students - like you!
First-year and transfer students: most scholarships are awarded by the Admissions office. Students who apply prior to Jan. 15 are given priority consideration. Students who are awarded a scholarship will receive an award notification, and the scholarship will be posted to the student's financial aid record.
Current students: Applications are available after Jan. 1 and the deadline to apply is March 1.
Congratulations! Make sure to let us know and submit your scholarship checks and award letters to the:

Once your FAFSA is processed, your financial aid will be determined.
You'll receive a Financial Aid award notice electronically - so be sure to check your university email often!
Review your financial aid package to determine how much you still owe and any additional forms our office may still need from you.
Your university email is the primary way our office will communicate with you.
Make sure you provide our office with all requested items or you'll delay your financial aid.
