Applying for scholarships
Applying for financial aid
To receive federal financial aid (grants, loans and work-study) you must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid each year. The FAFSA is officially open for 2024–25. The new FAFSA is a simplified and streamlined experience years in the making. Many students are already completing their FAFSA, so if you experience a pause or can't log in, please wait a few hours or set a reminder for the next day to jump back in with your FSA ID and complete the application. For more questions, go to studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/filling-out or call 1-800-4-FED-AID. If you experience issues or challenges, please visit this webpage for a helpful list of known issues and ways to troubleshoot.
Once you submit your FAFSA, check your Priority Actions box in My ASU regularly to be sure that ASU does not need any additional documents from you to verify your FAFSA. All requests will be listed in My ASU or sent to your ASU email. If you are entering ASU in the spring and already filed a FAFSA for the year, be sure to add ASU to your FAFSA (Federal School Code 001081) so we receive it.
Student employment
ASU employs more than 11,000 student workers in part-time hourly and Federal Work-Study positions. A part-time student job is a great way to earn extra income to help meet education and living expenses. An on-campus job is also an easy way to meet new people, network with the ASU community and become more familiar with campus. Check out the different types of positions.

Financial aid has helped my family and me pay for college. I didn’t have to take out as much in loans as originally planned. I strongly encourage students to apply for financial aid.
