¨ Students interested in applying for need based funding must complete this application and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA should be filed by March 15, 2008 to allow for sufficient processing time. You may complete the FAFSA online @ http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. The federal code for Suffolk University is 002218.

If married, you must submit the same documents for your spouse. Additional information may be required once an administrator reviews the file.

To the best of my knowledge, I am not in default on a Federal Perkins/National Direct Student Loan, Federal Stafford Student Loan, Federal Supplemental Loan for Students or a Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students.
