How to Apply for Financial Aid

Early Action applicants: submit Profile by November 15, and FAFSA by February 15.

Regular Decision applicants: submit Profile and FAFSA both by February 15.

Eligibility for financial aid is based primarily on financial need. Fairfield University uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for all students and the College Scholarship Service (CSS) PROFILE Form to determine initial financial aid eligibility. These forms take into account the income and assets of parents and the student, the number of dependents in the family, and the number of siblings attending college. The code number for Fairfield University required on the FAFSA form is 001385. The code number for Fairfield University required on the PROFILE form is 3390.

Applying for both forms online is quicker and more accurate than using the paper applications.
