Important Financial Aid Information
Hello!! I hope you’re having a great summer so far!! This is DebraAnn Brown in the Student Financial Aid Office.
Are you needing federal aid for the upcoming 2016-2017 year? If so, please go online to www.fafsa.gov to apply. We’ll get your FAFSA results in about a week and it will be reflected on your student portal with a green check mark. Our school is listed under the letter “T” for The University of Memphis, or you can cross-reference with our school code, 003509.
If we’ve already received your FAFSA results, you should have been offered the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan. Please log on to your myMemphis account to accept/accept partial/decline your offer. You should accept your unsubsidized loan first before applying for the Federal Direct Graduate PLUS Loan (at www.studentloans.gov). Yes, we will need a FAFSA on file to process your Graduate PLUS. If we have your FAFSA, but nothing is listed when you click on Financial Aid Awards, please e-mail me and include your U-ID# in your correspondence.
If you have been awarded a scholarship, those funds should be posted to your account no later than August 1.
Be reminded that fee payment deadline is Friday, August 12th. Continue to monitor your myMemphis account for updates and e-mail me at dbrown@memphis.edu if you have any questions. We appreciate your patience during this very busy time.
