How to Apply

Apply early to meet all deadlines. Follow these instructions to be considered for every need-based financial aid program available:

  • For an estimate of financial aid eligibility, prospective students may use the net price calculator.
  • To file an official application for financial aid, new and returning students should complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov as soon after Oct. 1 as possible for the upcoming academic year.  Students and parents of dependent students must electronicaly sign the FAFSA before it can be processed.
  • The FAFSA is required to determine eligibility for federal student aid programs (including the Pell Grant), and need-based aid programs from the State of Florida and UT. In addition to filing the FAFSA, students who reside in a state other than Florida should check with their guidance office about how to apply for their home state grant program.
  • Florida residents must complete the Florida Financial Aid Application (FFAA) before graduating from High School to be considered for one of the lottery-funded Bright Futures Scholarships.
  • “University of Tampa, Tampa, FL” must be listed on the FAFSA for UT to receive your results. UT’s FAFSA school code is 001538.
  • After the FAFSA is submitted, applicants who provided an email address will receive an email with a link to a Student Aid Report (SAR). If no email address was provided, applicants will receive paper SAR documents. Students should review the SAR for accuracy, and submit corrections online, if necessary.
  • Students selected for verification by the federal processor will be asked to submit additional documents to the Financial Aid Office*, such as copies of IRS tax return transcripts, or statements confirming benefits, etc. Eligible non-citizens may be asked to provide copies of their Resident Alien Cards or other documentation.

Students must be admitted to The University before the Financial Aid Office may make a financial aid award.

*The Financial Aid Office has contracted with KHEAA (the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority) to provide some FAFSA services, including verification processing. More information is available on the UT website: www.ut.edu/financialaid/notification/.
