Financial Aid Steps

While our Financial Aid Advisors will guide you through the Financial Aid application, feel free to begin the process by completing the steps below.

FAFSA

Start by going to www.fafsa.ed.gov

1. Register for a PIN - Go to: www.pin.ed.gov
   This PIN will act as your electronic signature for your online financial aid documents. Please request ‘Display Now’ from the drop down box.


2. Complete a 2011-2012 FAFSA using your 2010 federal tax information. – You can fill this form out online and submit it with your PIN. Please remember to add Herzing University’s school code to your FAFSA form (School Code: 009621).

Additional Documentation

You may be asked to submit additional documentation once your file has been submitted to our Financial Aid Department. Your FAFSA may be “Selected for Verification” by the Federal Government, which is a normal part of the financial aid process. If you are selected, you will be asked by Financial Aid to supply additional documents to your Financial Aid Advisor, including a Verification Worksheet which will be emailed to you at that time. In order to complete the process in a timely manner, we highly recommend having the following documents ready for submission:

• Federal Tax Forms (1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ) – A signed copy of your 2009 Federal tax forms (and your spouse’s or parent’s if applicable). If you are unable to locate a copy of these documents, you can request free Tax Transcripts from the IRS. Please call the IRS Tax Transcript Request Line at 1-800-829-1040.


• W2’s – Your 2009 W2’s (and your spouse’s or parent’s if applicable).
