UW-Fox Valley offers a comprehensive student financial aid program that includes all major federal and state aid funds. Many aid sources are limited. Therefore, you should apply early. All application materials should be submitted as soon after January 1 as possible for the academic year beginning the following September. If possible, complete your federal tax return before submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Applicants who have submitted all necessary forms by April 15 will be given funding priority.
REMINDER: YOU MUST REAPPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID EACH YEAR.
