Steps to Receive Your Financial Aid Award
Heidelberg University has a generous grant and scholarship program to help supplement family contribution. Over 97% of Heidelberg students received some form of financial assistance. The Financial Aid Office will work with you and your family to determine your family's share of educational costs and the aid available to meet those costs.
- Submit your Application for Admission
The Office of Admission will then review your complete Admission Application to determine your merit-based scholarship eligibility using a holistic review of your application including academic performance in high school, college, student involvement, essay, recommendation letters, and test scores. - Set up your FSA ID and password
Go to Federal Student Aid to set up your FSA ID and password. One parent will also need an FSA ID to serve as their signature on the FAFSA. - Submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Regardless of whether or not you think you will qualify for Federal Aid, it is important to complete the FAFSA in a timely fashion. The FAFSA is required to receive any additional aid beyond the merit scholarship awarded through the Admission process. In order to speed up the process and avoid mistakes, students and parents are encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (IRS DRT) which will transfer your tax information directly to your FAFSA.
To submit your FAFSA online, visit the Department of Education’s FAFSA website. Heidelberg’s federal code number is 003048.
