Financial Aid

Sophomores, juniors, and seniors may apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), the College Scholarship Service Profile, and the Noncustodial Parent Statement, if applicable. Both forms must be filed with the appropriate processing agency no later than February 1 for consideration for the following academic year. Deadlines are extremely important.

In addition to the FAFSA and Profile, copies of parent and student tax returns used to complete the financial aid applications must be received by the Office of Financial Aid no later than April 15. Notification of the following year’s awards will begin in early May.

Priority is given to renewal applicants who complete and submit their forms by the deadlines. Recipients can expect to have their aid re-awarded if they continue to demonstrate financial need and make satisfactory academic progress. Students who, at the time of admission, are considered dependent upon parental resources, remain so for Sarah Lawrence gift aid purposes throughout their undergraduate studies.Those who file after the deadline will be considered as funds become available.
