Anyone have experience with ASU Financial Aid and Scholarship Services?

Hey all, I've been accepted to Arizona State University and I'm trying to find out more about their financial aid and scholarship services. If anyone has had experience dealing with ASU's financial aid office or received a scholarship, can you please share your experience and tips on finding and applying to these resources?

Congratulations on your acceptance to Arizona State University! I'm glad you're looking to maximize the financial aid and scholarships available to you.

ASU has a range of scholarships and financial aid options that you can take advantage of. Here are a few key resources and tips as you navigate the process:

1. FAFSA: First, make sure you have filled out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to be eligible for federal and state financial aid, as well as any need-based aid from ASU. ASU's Federal School Code is 001081. Try to fill it out as early as possible to increase your chances of receiving aid.

2. ASU's Scholarship Portal: ASU has its own scholarship portal (scholarships.asu.edu) where you can search and apply for a variety of scholarships that are specific to your interests, major, or background. Some of these scholarships have separate applications, while others use your admission application or your FAFSA info. Be sure to review deadlines and eligibility requirements.

3. New American University Scholar awards: ASU offers merit-based scholarships, such as the New American University Scholar awards, which are given to incoming freshmen and transfer students who meet certain eligibility criteria. These awards can cover a significant portion of tuition costs. No separate application is required; you are automatically considered when you apply for admission.

4. Outside Scholarships: Don't forget to look for scholarships outside of ASU from foundations, organizations, or corporations. Some useful websites for scholarship searches include Fastweb, Cappex, CollegeVine, and Scholarships.com.

5. Keep Communication Open: If you have any specific questions or concerns about your financial aid package, be proactive and reach out to the ASU Financial Aid and Scholarship Services office. They can assist with clarifying your award details, your eligibility for various programs, or suggest alternative options. The office's contact information can be found on ASU's financial aid website.

Remember to stay organized and keep track of deadlines. It's important to apply for as many scholarships as you can and explore all available financial aid resources to maximize your chances of reducing your out-of-pocket costs.

I hope this information helps. Good luck with your scholarship and financial aid search at ASU!
