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

Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov

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 that the PIN be emailed to you.
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: 014030).
Please be sure to print your confirmation page.

Entrance Counseling

Go to: https://studentloans.gov/myDirectLoan/index.action

Be sure to read all of the information carefully, as this is information you will be quizzed on.
- Step One involves reading through some very important information regarding Stafford Loans and answering relevant questions. As you progress through the session, you will be required to enter your personal information as well as provide contact information about personal references. This session will be very helpful in providing you with information about your loans and is required in order to complete the financial aid process.
- Quiz: You must answer 12 out of 15 questions correctly to pass. This may mean you will need to retake the quiz until 12 out of the 15 questions can be answered correctly. Once you pass the quiz, click Proceed.
- If you already have your PIN from the Federal PIN Website (the same PIN used to sign your FAFSA), please click on the “Log On with PIN” link. Enter your information and proceed through the steps. If you do not already have your PIN, please see the instructions under the FAFSA section above. The PIN website is: www.pin.ed.gov
Read over the information in Step Two and click “Save and Acknowledge.”

Additional Documentation

You may be asked to submit supplemental documentation once your file has been submitted to our Financial Services 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 Officer, 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 filings (and your spouse’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 if applicable).
Social Security Benefit documentation – From 2009 for you and/or your spouse.
