Student Financial Aid
Application Procedures
The Office of Student Financial Aid at the University of North Florida is committed to supporting student success through accessible financial assistance. While students and families are encouraged to contribute to college costs, when possible, our goal is to make sure financial circumstances do not prevent students from continuing their education.
It is the student's responsibility to:
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year
- Check myWings regularly for financial aid status updates and requirements
- Submit all requested documents in a timely manner
- Review all information and instructions carefully
- Maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
- Pay any remaining balance not covered by financial aid
To help meet these responsibilities, students are encouraged to:
- Apply early for financial aid
- Read the 2026-2027 Financial Aid Guide
- Check their UNF email often
- Keep all financial aid files in one place
- Save copies of all financial aid documents
- Monitor the Financial Aid Dates and Deadlines page
The following three applications are used to determine eligibility for federal, state and institutional financial aid.
The FAFSA is required for Title IV federal student aid consideration. Students may complete an online FAFSA each year beginning October 1 using the University of North Florida’s school code, 009841.
An FSA ID is required for each person who must contribute to the application, which may include:
|
For Dependent Students |
For Independent Students |
|
|

Unlike the FAFSA, an FSA ID does not need to be renewed each year. The FSA ID is required to sign and submit the FAFSA and to provide consent for a Direct Data Exchange (DDX) with the IRS.
After submitting the FAFSA, students should review their FAFSA Submission Summary and make corrections if needed. Some students may be selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education or the University of North Florida and may be asked to submit additional documentation.
The Florida Financial Aid Application (FFAA) is administered through the Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) and is used to apply for state financial aid, including the Bright Futures Scholarship Program. Students must complete the FFAA one time, no later than August 31 following high school graduation.
Once admitted to UNF, students can use ScholarshipUniverse to find and apply for scholarships that match their academic and personal goals.
