How to Apply for ABSN Financial Aid
Federal Student Aid ID
A Federal Student Aid ID is used to sign the FAFSA on the Web, as well as to make corrections, complete a renewal FAFSA, and to check on the student loan data. Parents of dependent students must also apply for a Federal Student Aid ID in order to sign their student's FAFSA renewal or corrections.
Submit FAFSA
We encourage all students and prospective students to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is completed online. The FAFSA can be completed any time after October 1; priority is given to students whose FAFSA is received by March 2.
The Federal School Code for Westmont College is: 001341
Submit the Financial Aid Data Sheet
The Financial Aid Data Sheet is required of all students who receive any type of financial assistance, including academic or talent-based scholarships. It can be found on the Office of Financial Aid page.
Verification
In order to ensure that you receive all the financial aid for which you are eligible, Westmont College verifies the accuracy of information that you provide via the FAFSA. The Financial Aid Office will request various documents as part of this process. The list of required documents specific to your application will be available on the Financial Aid Student Portal (Net Partner). Financial aid awards are subject to change if information on these forms is different from the information reported on the FAFSA. Priority is given to students whose documents are received by June 1st.
Respond to your Financial Aid Package
Once all necessary financial aid application items have been submitted and reviewed by the Office of Financial Aid, students will be sent an email indicating that the “final” financial aid package is ready to be reviewed. At that time, students must access the Financial Aid Student Portal and select “Accepting Your Aid” under the menu. Once there, a student is required to either accept or decline each source of financial aid that is listed. No financial aid will be credited to a student’s account until each fund offered has either been accepted or declined.
