FAFSA-Based Aid
If you wish to apply for any need-based program, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). UofL’s school code is 001999.
The FAFSA form you fill out should correspond with the school year you're seeking aid for:
- If you are applying for Fall 2027-Summer 2028, submit the 2027-2028 FAFSA.
- If you plan to start at UofL before August 2027, you also complete the 2026-2027 FAFSA.
We highly encourage you to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after it opens for your desired school year.
• Need-based aid, tuition assistance and scholarships do not need to be repaid.
• Loans require repayment. Subsidized loans charge interest after graduation. Unsubsidized loans charge interest immediately.
• All amounts are based on the 2026-2027 FAFSA. For more detailed information regarding these grant and loan programs, visit studentaid.gov.
All FAFSA-based aid is open to all eligible students regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability or age.
