Welcome!

__**Financial Aid at the University of Guam**__ Financial aid seems very intimidating process for new-coming and even returning students. The process to attain financial aid can be painless especially with many resources and applications found online.

__**Before applying for grants, scholarships, or student loans:**__

Step 1) **Visit the Financial Aid Office (FAO) in the UOG Fieldhouse. From there, you can find out who your financial aid counselor is** and receive additional information. At UOG, students are assigned to counselors alphabetically. (CLICK HERE FOR A MAP OF THE CAMPUS) Step 2) **Get a PIN for yourself and your parent on the PIN website, www.pin.ed.gov** this PIN will enable you to electronically sign all documents online. Step 3) F**ill out the Free Application For Student Loan online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.** Personal information will be required, such as you and/or your parents tax forms, your social security number,etc. The FAFSA is not just for the Pell Grant. It is also the starting point for many federal loans. You will have to fill out new at the beginning of each calendar year. Step 4) **From the FAFSA website, you can apply for the Pell Grant or STAFFORD LOAN (subsidized OR unsubsidized).** Step 5) **Fill out a student information sheet.** (found in the Financial Aid Office).

There are different kinds of loans: Graduate PLUS Parent PLUS

There are other resources for obtaining finances for paying tuition: Private Scholarships Government Loans Regional Scholarships


 * __After you have completed your grant, scholarship, or student loan application__:**

Step 1) Retrieve a verification form from the FAO Step 2) Bring the verification form to the Collections Office. They will inform you whether or not cover the full cost of your estimated tuition. If your loan, scholarship, or grant does not cover the entire tuition you can start a Time Option Payment Plan (TOPP) or pay the Cashier. Step 3) Collections Office will then approve you to register for classes.

This Process must be repeated at the beginning of each calendar year.*
