Financial aid at Shaw University consists of scholarships, grants, loans, and jobs awarded individually or in the form of a “package” to meet a student’s financial need. Financial aid is awarded for one year only and can be renewed upon reapplication and demonstrated continued eligibility. The priority deadline for applying for financial aid administered by Shaw University is March 1 for the upcoming academic year.

 

To apply for financial aid at Shaw University, you must fill out the Free Application for Financial Student Aid (FAFSA). Make sure you add Shaw’s federal school code (002962) to ensure fast processing.

 

After your application has been processed and the level of financial aid has been determined, Shaw University will contact you about your financial options. At Shaw University, more than 85 percent of students are offered a loan in their aid packages. If you accept a loan, you will need to complete loan counseling and a promissory note for the lender you have selected. If you reject the loan offered in your financial aid award, no further action will be necessary. A financial loan is not the only option.
