Oct. 1, 2021: FAFSA将于2022-2023年开放，并将使用2020年的税收信息.

Employer reimbursement and/or tuition assistance funds must be accounted for as part of your financial aid package, and any remaining eligibility can be filled in with grants and/or loans (depending on what you are eligible for).
如果你的雇主需要一个未付的发票来提交你的资金, you may contact the Office of 金融援助 (OFA) to have the funds removed. 如果您需要稍后恢复，您需要与我们联系.
The FAFSA will indicate to us any amounts of loans and/or Pell grants that you have used. 每种基金都有年度和终身(合计)最高限额. Once you have reached the lifetime maximum, you will no longer be eligible for that fund.
补贴补贴贷款/:最高57元,在本科阶段总共有500人, 最高138元,500 total at the graduate level (including amounts taken out previously at undergraduate or graduate level).
家长或毕业生PLUS贷款:没有累计上限，但需要信贷审批.
Pell Grant: lifetime maximum of 600% (the equivalent of 12 semesters of full-time enrollment).
You should consider using student loans sparingly and minimize any refunds you are using for living expenses, 尤其是当你接近你的最大值时.
As long as you are enrolled at least half-time (6+ hours per semester at the undergraduate level, 或研究生阶段每学期3小时以上), your enrollment will be reported monthly to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Most loan servicers subscribe to these NSC reports in order to update student loan statuses.
If you need your deferment updated sooner or your servicer does not subscribe to NSC, you will need to obtain an in-school deferment form from your loan servicer and submit it to the Office of 金融援助 to be completed.
你的FAFSA会问你家里有多少人, and how many of those in the household will be enrolled at least half-time during the same financial aid year.
Your FAFSA will take into account that total number in determining your aid eligibility for the year. Having other family members concurrently in college does NOT cause you to lose any aid eligibility, 除非你报告的信息不准确.
If you have children in your household who are in college, you DO list them in the number in college. 如果你的父母在上大学，你就不要把他们列在大学的号码里.

This includes ALL previous attempted coursework, whether you were receiving aid at the time or not. You must also (at either level) not attempt more than 150% of the number of hours required for your degree program.
如果您没有达到这些最低要求或超过150%的时间范围, we require you to go through an appeal process in order to possibly regain aid eligibility. If your appeal is denied, you will need to pay out of pocket or pursue private loan funding.
The Department of Education also monitors students who have attended and received aid at more than 2 schools in the past 4 years. 如果是这种情况，你的FAFSA将被标记为进一步审查. If you have not been receiving credit for the semesters in which you have received aid, you may be denied future aid depending upon your specific circumstances for not earning credit.
学生经常询问住在校外的经济援助. 这与住在亲戚家里不同, 因为它包括了额外的租金, utilities, food, etc.
经济援助是基于一个标准的出勤费用, which includes reasonable living expense amounts meant to assist you with covering those costs (not necessarily covering them completely). It is important to understand your direct billed costs (such as tuition and fees) and then plan for your other costs (such as books, 住房和食物). 您可以参考您的获奖信，并澳门博彩官网下载的办公室，如果你有任何问题!
我的账单会有什么变化啊?
当你住在校外时, 你只需要支付直接费用——学费, fees, parking, insurance, etc. 您不需要支付食宿费用, 所以你欠uw的金额不包括住房费用. However, 你仍然可以使用贷款援助来支付房租, utilities, 杂货和其他每月费用.
If the amount of aid you are receiving is greater than the direct costs billed by UIW, 您将收到退款支票(或直接存款), 如果你注册了电子退款，你可以用它来支付你的生活费用.
生活费用及预算
Living off-campus can give you more flexibility in determining how much you will pay for such items as rent and groceries. 一定要制定一个现实的每月预算，包括你所有的开支, 包括电缆, 互联网和其他公用事业. UIW uses a room and board budget that includes a reasonable budget for rent (based on nine-month double-occupancy) and groceries. 超过这个预算的费用将不会获得额外的财政援助, 即使你选择不找室友.
重要的是要记住，如果你有资格获得退款, 直到学期的100%退学日期之后，你才可以使用它, if your file is complete and you are meeting the enrollment requirements for your aid. 你必须相应地预算，以确保你不会错过任何租金, 在等待援助期间的存款或其他付款.
财政援助不能增加，以支付额外的费用，如:
- 租期: 财政援助是基于九个月的时间表, 但大多数租约都要求签订12个月的协议, 所以你可能需要在没有经济援助的情况下支付房租. 你必须为这些额外的月做相应的预算.
- 保证金、迁入费及首个月租金: 除了第一个月的房租, many apartments/leases may require you to pay a security deposit and/or a move-in fee at the time of signing. You may need to pay these expenses before the end of the current school year for the upcoming year's lease, 取决于你的租赁条款.
- 启动成本: Many utilities, 比如互联网和有线电视, 可能需要保证金和/或安装费, 如果你以前从未使用过他们的服务.
Helpful Tips
- 注册直接存款，以加快退款过程. This is separate from your work-study/payroll direct deposit and can be set up through the 业务办公室.
- Develop a reasonable cost plan for off-campus expenses and compare it to on-campus costs before making your final decision.
- 如果你打算在校外找室友, it is easier to handle financial matters if everyone's name is on the lease and utilities. Make sure your roommates understand how they will be able to pay their share of the expenses.
- 居住生活办公室提供了一个 附近校外住宅列表. 虽然UIW不认可或推荐任何特定的财产超过另一个, 这是一个获取信息的好地方，可以帮助你进行搜索.
