Federal Financial Aid is available to US citizens and Permanent Residents. If you have questions about your status and eligibility, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Eligibility for federal, state, and institutional programs is based on the submission of a FAFSA (or TASFA, if applicable. See below). More information on types of aid, amounts, and ongoing eligibility can be found in the University Bulletin (Undergraduate Scholarships and Financial Aid section).
University of Dallas does not require the CSS Profile.
You must complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) annually when
you wish to apply for aid. The 2023/24 FAFSA opens on October 1, 2022.
The income information will be based on 2021 (called prior prior year or PPY).
The 2023/24 priority deadline for all undergraduate students is prior to January 15, 2023.
UD will accept FAFSAs after this date. However, not all types of aid will be available
to students who submit their FAFSAs after the priority date.

How does UD use the FAFSA information to award financial aid? UD uses the FAFSA (namely the Estimated Family Contribution, or EFC) as well as year in school, enrollment status, and cost of attendance (COA) to determine awards. Financial NEED is determined by this equation: Cost of Attendance (COA) minus Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) = Financial Need Financial Need helps UD determine how much a student can received in need-based funds such as Pell Grant, SEOG, Work Study, Federal Direct Subsidized Loan, Texas Tuition Equalization Grant, etc). Non-need based aid (such as the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan) is awarded by taking COA minus other financial aid you have already been awarded. Combined financial aid awards cannot exceed your total Cost of Attendance. Adapted from Federal Student Aid/https://studentaid.gov/complete-aid-process/how-calculated. |
New students will receive an award notification detailing your total financial aid package (emailed to students December - April). Please check your preferred email daily for updates. Use the Financial Aid Comparison Worksheet to compare UD's costs to other schools you are considering.
Returning undergraduate students will receive an award notification of your financial aid package through email after April 1st. If you wish to accept and/or decline the financial aid offer, you must login to BannerWeb and do so online. Please check your preferred email daily for updates. Failure to check your email regularly could result in a delay in processing your financial aid.
If you are selected for verification, see below, we will need additional information before an eligibility can be determined.
If you accept your Federal Direct Loan(s) and you are a new borrower at UD, you will be required to complete a Federal Direct Loan Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Direct Loan Entrance Counseling at studentaid.gov. Failure to do so will keep your loan from disbursing to your account, and ultimately in the cancellation of your loan.
If you are not a US citizen or permanent resident, but you are classified as a Texas resident and therefore are eligible to pay the Texas in-state tuition rate, use the 2023/2024 TASFA.
If you need the 2022/23 TASFA, please contact us. To use this application, your classification as a Texas resident must not be due to a waiver, such as an in-state scholarship or an assistantship.
If you have been granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), we encourage you to complete the FAFSA. Although DACA students are not eligible for federal student aid, you still may be eligible for state or college aid, and submitting a FAFSA can help you access those other types of aid. To begin your FAFSA, you must enter your Social Security Number. While completing the FAFSA, you must answer the "Are you a US citizen?" question as "No, I am not a citizen or eligible noncitizen." If you filed taxes for 2021, you may also be able to transfer your tax information using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool on the FAFSA.
NOTE: The federal government has waived the necessity for V1 verifications for the 2022/2023 aid year. If you were previously selected for V1 Verification for this year, you no longer need to submit verification paperwork.
The information below pertains to FAFSA verification for the 2023/2024 year.
The federal government selects FAFSAs to be verified by the financial aid department. Our school may also select FAFSAs to be verified. During verification, a financial aid counselor must confirm that certain data elements on the FAFSA are correct before a student may receive any financial aid. In order to have payment arrangements made by the tuition due date, please turn in all requested verification items by the deadlines below:
Failure to submit documentation by the final verification deadline may result in loss of financial aid eligibility. Our office is not required to complete verification after the final deadline has passed. Students may appeal to the Director of Financial Aid for an extension to the deadline.
Official tax return information from the IRS is required as part of the verification process. When completing your FAFSA online, you have the option of using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Please see page 3 of the verification worksheet for further instructions. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool is the preferred method of submitting tax information to the school because it is the quickest, easiest, and most secure way to submit your tax information.
