Ready to transfer? We’ll help you go full speed ahead.
Once you’ve decided to transfer to St. Edward’s, we’re here to guide you through the financial aid process.
A St. Edward’s financial aid advisor will work with you throughout your time on the hilltop. They’ll answer questions, present financial options and make sure you’re taking advantage of all resources available to you.
We’re committed to helping transfer students find their place here, with scholarships and financial aid packages that meet their needs. To help you get started with applying for financial aid, we’ve distilled it down to the following three steps:
1. Apply for Admission
When you apply for admission before the priority deadline, you’ll be automatically considered for the most scholarships.
Priority Application Deadline: April 15
2. Complete the FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) asks questions about a family’s income and assets to determine an Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Make sure to list the St. Edward’s federal school code, 003621, in the school release section, so the university gets your results. After completing the FAFSA, you will receive an email acknowledgment from the Department of Education.* When you complete the FAFSA before the priority deadline, we’ll review your file for additional financial aid, including federal and state grants, other grants offered by St. Edward’s and low-interest student loans.
FAFSA Priority Deadline: May 1
For a spring start date, the FAFSA priority deadline is November 1
3. Log into myHilltop
After you’re admitted and have provided all the required documents, you’ll receive a financial aid offer letter in the mail. Financial aid offers are also displayed in myHilltop. You’ll be asked to go to myHilltop to accept the aid offer and complete any additional requirements to secure your aid offer.
All Other Financial Paperwork Due: July 1
For a spring start date, all other financial-aid paperwork is due Dec. 1
