Applying for Financial Aid
Assumption University strongly encourages everyone to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) – you and your family may be pleasantly surprised by the funding you may receive.
The majority of financial aid awards made by Assumption University are based upon “demonstrated financial need.” Student need is the difference between the average cost of attending Assumption University minus your and your family’s ability to contribute toward these costs, as calculated from the information you provided on the FAFSA.
Begin the process
- Students and their parent/guardian must obtain an FSA ID prior to filling out the application.
- Complete the FAFSA online. The 2027-2028 FAFSA opened on September 23, 2026. Please refer to the FAFSA Simplification information at the bottom of this page for more information.
- Include Assumption’s School Code, 002118, so that we receive your FAFSA information.
Filing the FAFSA Online
Assumption University strongly recommends you file the 2027-2028 FAFSA at www.fafsa.gov.
Additional documentation requests
Students may be asked to remit additional documentation to determine financial aid eligibility. The most common request is due to a process called verification. For more information on the verification process, please refer to the Policies & Guidelines section.
Financial Aid Awarding Timeline
Once Assumption receives and reviews FAFSA records, we will begin sending out financial aid offers to newly admitted undergraduate students with a valid 2027-2028 FAFSA on a rolling basis beginning in late November 2026.
Returning undergraduate students who meet the filing deadline and have remitted all requested documents can access their 2027-2028 financial aid offer via the myAssumption portal in mid to late June 2027.
Assumption’s Priority FAFSA filing deadlines:
First-Year Students: March 31, 2027 (fall 2027)
Transfer Students: March 31, 2027 (fall 2027)
Returning Students: March 31, 2027 (fall 2027)
Students who file their FAFSAs after the priority filing deadline can still apply for financial assistance but could have their financial aid offer delayed as a result of not meeting the deadline.
