2023-2024 Financial Aid Application Checklist

In order to be considered for Penn need-based financial aid, you must submit all of the following information by the dates listed.

Financial aid packages are based on LPS evening tuition rates, and living allowances are only included if you are enrolled in four or more c.u. during a semester. Please note that course registration changes can result in tuition adjustments, which can significantly change your financial aid eligibility and delay disbursement of your funds. Financial aid eligibility can vary based on your dependency status and is contingent upon your satisfactory academic progress. 

Deadlines

Submit all required applications and documents by May 1, 2023 to ensure timely processing of your financial aid package. Applications received after this date will be processed as quickly as possible. 

The FAFSA is available each year starting on October 1, so you can get an early start on next year's application.
