The Professional MBA at Methodist University: Financial Aid

To be considered for all types of need-based financial assistance at Methodist University, you must first complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The best and fastest way to apply is online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you do not have Internet access, please contact our Financial Aid Office (800.488.7110) to request a paper application. The Methodist University Title IV School Code is 002946.

To complete the FAFSA online, follow these simple steps:

GET A PIN – To sign your FAFSA electronically, you need to apply for a PIN at www.pin.ed.gov. With a PIN, you can check the results of your processed FAFSA, correct errors, print a copy of your Student Aid Report (FAFSA results), and complete your renewal FAFSA next year. You can register for a PIN at any time and should keep this information confidential and secure. It usually takes 3-5 days for the PIN to be sent electronically.

PRINT THE PRE-APPLICATION WORKSHEET – After January 1, when FAFSA for the upcoming academic year is available online, you can print this worksheet from the FAFSA website. It will help you get organized and will make completing the FAFSA much easier and quicker.

SELECT "FILL OUT A FAFSA" FROM THE FAFSA WEBSITE – Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the FAFSA. Utilize the built-in help features such as the "Chat" and "Need Help With This Page?" links, or call a Customer Service Representative at 800.433.3243 if you have problems. It is recommended that you have completed tax information from the previous fiscal year (1040, W-2 forms, etc.) prior to completing the financial sections of the FAFSA.

SAVE YOUR FAFSA OFTEN – By utilizing the "Save" button at the bottom of the screen, you can return to your FAFSA if you should lose your internet connection.

PRINT EVERY PAGE YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO PRINT – These pages are important to keep as records should you have any questions or concerns regarding your FAFSA form. Be certain to print the FAFSA Summary Page and the FAFSA Confirmation Page.

SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION – The online FAFSA is usually processed within one week (4-6 weeks for the paper version) and results are sent directly to you and each college and university you list on the FAFSA. Within 2-3 weeks of our receipt of your processed FAFSA, you will receive either a financial aid award letter detailing the financial aid available for the upcoming year/semester or a request for additional information to complete the financial aid process.
