Applying for Aid

To apply for financial aid at Spring Arbor University, you will need to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Get started by following these three easy steps:

  • Obtain an FSA ID:  Please know FAFSA is different this year. Learn more about what to expect on our FAFSA information page. All students, and parents of dependent students, should apply for a U.S. Department of Education FAFSA ID online at studentaid.gov. Your FAFSA ID can be used to sign your FAFSA electronically, making the application process simpler and faster.
  • Complete and Submit your FAFSA: The FAFSA website has many resources to help you complete the form correctly. Be sure to include SAU’s school code, 002318, when you submit your FAFSA to avoid delays in the processing of your aid. You must reapply each year for your FAFSA.
