申请援助

Here’s how you can ensure that a financial offer letter will arrive in your mailbox.

1. 应用 for admission to SPU

Your admission application automatically puts you in the running for most SPU奖学金. If you’re an artist, 运动员, or aspiring engineer, find the scholarships you qualify for on the list and follow directions on how to apply.

  • First-year students entering Autumn Quarter: 应用 by March 1
  • Transfer students entering Autumn Quarter: 应用 by July 1

2. 提交 your Free Application for Federal Student 援助 (FAFSA) or WASFA

The 2024-2025 FAFSA application will be available December 2023. We recommend filing your FAFSA as soon as you're able after the application becomes available since some student aid programs have limited funds.

  • First day to file (for priority consideration): December 31
  • Last day to file (for priority consideration): August 1

Important notes: Even if you miss the priority deadline, turn in your completed FAFSA as soon as you can. And if you’re a a continuing student, you’ll also still need to file the FAFSA yearly, in order to be considered for ongoing aid.
