Grants for Undergraduates

Grants are funds that are not repaid.

To be eligible for these grants, students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Generally, grants are applied directly to a student's account.

Some grants or scholarships may require the student to endorse a check before Student Financial Services can apply the funds to the student's account. Student Financial Services will notify the student at his or her Seattle University e-mail address when a check is received that requires the student's endorsement.

FAFSA Filing Tips

Seattle University School Code: 003790
Select the correct version of the FAFSA to complete.
BOTH students and parents must consent to receive federal financial aid.
Consent using your FSA ID. The FSA ID is your username and password for the FAFSA and is required for students and contributors, if applicable, to provide consent and approval to the access, disclosure, and use of federal tax information (FTI) in evaluating an applicant’s eligibility for federal financial aid. You can apply for an FSA ID online. Remember: a dependent student's FAFSA requires that both the student and their contributor on the FAFSA have an FSA ID and provide consent.
Meet the Seattle University March 4 priority award offer notification deadline. Seattle University recognizes the current challenges students and families are facing with the FAFSA form. As such, we welcome and encourage FAFSAs submitted after March 4.
The FAFSA asks for financial data from two years ago. This allows many students and families who have filed their taxes to electronically retrieve their tax data from the IRS database using the IRS Direct Data Exchange.
FAFSA RESULTS. You will receive an email acknowledgement from FAFSA letting you know your application has been processed and will be forwarded on to the schools listed. After SU process your FAFSA, you will also get an email from our office with more detailed information.
