Notification of Financial Aid Offer

Students will receive an email notice once their Financial Aid Offer is ready to be viewed in OSCAR. OSFA will begin releasing the Financial Aid Offer notice to applicants with completed and finalized applications, and who are officially accepted for admission according to student classification.

Our office will begin notifying students of their financial aid offer during the following times according to student classification:

  • First-year students: Early April

  • Returning students: End of-June

  • Transfer students: End of June for fall entrants.

  • Graduate students: End of June-July.

Graduate students receiving a Graduate Assistantship and/or Fellowship should contact their academic department or outside fellowship sponsors to determine their award levels. As our office becomes aware of additional forms of aid, we will revise your offer as necessary.
