Announcement

It has come to our attention that Winona State University students have been receiving letters and emails from different companies offering Financial Aid Services for a cost.  Winona State University does not endorse these services.  You should not have to pay to apply for financial aid, or to receive information about financial aid.  If you have questions about the FAFSA application, you can either call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243) or 1-319-337-5665, or the WSU Financial Aid Office.

Q: Do I file a FAFSA yearly?

A: The FAFSA application needs to be completed every year that you need to use financial aid.  It is best to complete the FAFSA as soon as you have completed your Federal income taxes.  Students submitting the FAFSA after May 15th are considered late filers, and may experience a delay in fall semester financial aid.

Q: What is my award letter?

A: To help you determine how much financial aid you will need for the school year, you need to read the information on the website titled Award Letter 2012-2013.  If you are borrowing from a student loan, you need to complete the necessary steps to secure the loan.

Q: Do I file a FAFSA for loans?

A: The Federal Direct loan, the Federal Perkins loan, and the MN SELF loan require that you file a FAFSA application before you can borrow from one of these loans.  After you file your FAFSA application, you will be sent an award letter letting you know what types of financial aid you are eligible for.  Once you receive your award letter, you can apply for your student loan(s).

Q: When is tuition due?

A: This information is available by viewing our payment calendar.

Q: When is aid disbursed?

A: This information is available by viewing Financial Aid Disbursement
