Our job at Shorter University is to make your Financial Aid application process as smooth as possible.

How to Apply

You must reapply each year for Financial Aid. When filling out the FAFSA :

• Ensure that your name on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) matches the name on your Social Security card.
• Leave no questions unanswered.

Timing is Important

The financial aid process is a very time-oriented process. If you need financial aid in order to attend one of the degree programs at Shorter, you will need to complete the entire financial aid process first.

You must be declared "financially ready" before you can be placed on a roster to start your classes. In order to be determined eligible for federal aid, you must submit all the required documents and any further documents the Office of Financial Aid requests from you in a timely manner.
