Degree Completion - Financial Aid
While the primary responsibility of financing a student's education rests with the student and his or her family, the Financial Aid Office is dedicated to helping students find additional sources of funding to help meet the costs of receiving a quality education.
This checklist will help walk you through the steps necessary to apply for financial aid. We strongly recommend you complete these steps in the order in which they are listed.
- If you don’t have one already, apply for a Department of Education PIN to be used as an online signature. Retain your PIN for use each year.
- Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) -Information from this application is used to determine if you're eligible to receive money from federal grant, loan, and work-study programs. In addition, it is used to evaluate some forms of institutional funding. Multnomah's school code is 003206.
- Complete any documents you receive from the Financial Aid Office, which will be mailed to you upon electronic receipt of your FAFSA.
Before an offer of financial aid will be granted, Multnomah requires the student be accepted for admission. Therefore, we suggest students work simultaneously on the financial aid process and the admission application.
