Financial Aid

The Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA) is dedicated to providing guidance and assistance for students to help ease the financial burdens associated with their education. We strive to assist our students in funding their education while at Augusta University.

To receive federal and state financial aid, you must meet certain eligibility requirements which include but are not limited to such things as being a U. S. citizen or eligible non-citizen and maintaining Satisfactory Academic Progress. https://www.augusta.edu/finaid/documents/standardssapnewrevf.pdf

To apply for federal financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at https://studentaid.gov/​. To apply for state scholarship and grant programs, students must complete the Georgia Student Financial Aid Application System (GSFAPPS) at https://gafutures.org.

The financial aid application priority deadlines for each term are as follows: Fall Semester – April 1st; Spring Semester - October 1st; and Summer Semester - March 1st. Students are expected to submit all required applications and support documents on or before the published financial aid application priority deadlines for the chosen enrollment term. Failure to meet the priority deadline may result in incurring your own educational expenses until your financial aid file is complete and aid has been processed.

Augusta University offers a variety of institutional scholarships through one central scholarship system. Scholarships may be based on program of study, merit and/or financial need (as defined by the Department of Education). This system also provides access to external scholarship opportunities. The scholarship system can be accessed at augusta.edu/finaid/applyscholarships. 

New Summer Students: For financial aid purposes, the summer semester is at the end of the award year. You must complete a FAFSA for both the current academic year and for the next academic year. Example: If enrolling at Augusta University during the Summer 2022 semester, you must complete both the 2021-2022 FAFSA (covers Fall 2021, Spring 2022, and Summer 2022) and the 2022-2023 FAFSA (covers Fall 2022, Spring 2023, and Summer 2023).

OSFA provides education funding from sources such as grants, scholarships, loans, and the federal work-study program. For further information, please refer to our website at http://www.augusta.edu/finaid/ or email us at osfa@augusta.edu.
