Applying for Financial Aid: The Process
- Complete the 2011-12 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Make sure to add CLU’s school code 001133. File your FAFSA by March 1 for priority consideration. The application deadline is April 15. Students who submit their FAFSA after this deadline will receive a reduced Financial Aid Award.
- Submit Verification Documents (if applicable): If you are selected for Verification, your Student Aid Report (SAR) from FAFSA will tell you, and you will also receive a letter from CLU.
- To ensure that you receive notification of your Financial Aid eligibility complete steps 1-2 as early as possible.
Once you receive notification to your callutheran.edu email account that your award is ready to view, continue with these steps:
- Accept or Reject your Financial Aid Awards. It is CLU policy that students are responsible for accepting or rejecting each financial aid award. If you would later like to change your decision on a particular award, please contact your Financial Aid Counselor.
- If you accept a Federal Stafford Loan, students must complete the loan process (Entrance Counseling and Master Promissory Note).
- If you accept a Federal Parent PLUS Loan, parents must complete loan application (requires credit check). If credit is approved, parents must complete a Master Promissory Note. The priority loan application deadline is July 1.
