Federal AidEligibility for need-based grants, loans, scholarships and federal work-study programs is determined by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. Applicants must have been admitted to a University of Arizona degree program before the Office of Student Financial Aid will make financial aid awards. Many UA financial assistance programs for students are based on need; therefore, graduate students are urged to file the FAFSA whether or not they intend to obtain federal student loans. Graduate students must be enrolled at least half-time in order to receive federal loans. Office of Student Financial AidThe university’s Office of Student Financial Aid offers students a full array of scholarships, grants, awards, loans and work-study. For information regarding financial aid and current opportunities available, please visit the Office of Student Financial Aid, call 520-621-1858, visit the University of Arizona Administration Building, Room 208, or e-mail askaid@arizona.edu.
