Additional Financial Aid forms for 2008-2009

• Graduate Supplemental Form
• Parent Non-Filing Statement
• Student Non-Filing Statement
• Parent Information

Important Notes

Students are required to reapply for financial aid every year to receive financial aid for each subsequent year.

All students, continuing or entering (whether they have been admitted or not), should complete their financial aid forms by the required deadlines.

Each student should complete the parent section of the FAFSA and submit parent IRS 1040 forms, even if the student is considered independent. Parent information is required for consideration for certain Federal scholarships and loans administered through the School of Pharmacy.

Graduate Students

All students entering the School of Pharmacy's Pharm.D. program will have completed the equivalent of 90 semester units and are therefore classified as Graduate Students.
