First Year Financial Aid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Office of Financial Aid begins notifying incoming first-years of their estimated financial aid packages in early December. \u00a0The initial award packet is available through the students Admissions Portal. It includes the student\u2019s estimated financial aid award (based on the results of the FAFSA if received), a list of required documentation\/forms, and important instructions for accessing the student\u2019s financial aid through Banner. If there is an adjustment to the initial award package, the student will receive notification through their UMW email account, instructing them to review the changes through Banner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary communication, award letters and documentation needed is in the admissions portal until students deposit and are enrolled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
