Welcome to the Financial Aid Office
Financing your education is one of the most important life decisions you and your family face. The Financial Aid Office at Salisbury University is prepared to assist you in the process of securing the resources necessary to afford your college education.
Investing in a college education is often a major financial decision requiring many students to look beyond their own limited resources for assistance. SU students receive funds for college in the form of grants, loans, work-study and scholarships. Awards are based on financial need and/or academic ability.
The Financial Aid Office at Salisbury University is committed to providing you with excellent customer service, timely delivery of information and sensitivity to your individual financial concerns. We are pleased to act as your financial aid resource and information center, and look forward to helping you achieve your educational goals.
*** Financial Aid Notification ***
Beginning with the 2012-2013 award year,
the United States Department of Education has made
a significant change to the documentation requirements for
applications selected for verification. Verification is a process to confirm the information provided on an
applicant's Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). Since most applicants can quickly and easily access IRS data through the Data Retrieval process
during FAFSA filing,
the government no longer considers it reasonable for an institution to accept anything less reliable than direct
IRS supplied evidence for verification of income data. Therefore, if an applicant selected for verification has
not successfully transferred information from the IRS, or one who did transfer the information but then changed it,
the Department of Education expects the institution to require the applicant/parent, to provide an official 2011
IRS tax transcript (schools can no longer accept personal copies of tax returns for the 2012-2013 academic year).
Salisbury
University highly recommends the use of the IRS Data
Retrieval option during the initial filing or when
subsequent corrections are made to your 2012-2013 FAFSA.
