Effective for the 2010-2011 academic year, the Office of Financial Aid will no longer maintain a Suggested Lender List. We advise each student to select a lender based upon interest rates, fees, borrower benefits and customer service. Remember that you will have a long relationship with your lender and you want to be sure you choose the best fit for you. Federal loans should be exhausted prior to borrowing through private/alternative lenders.
Families may begin filing their FAFSA for the 2010-2011 academic year as of January 1, 2010. Be sure to collect all income and tax documents so your filing will be easier. You may want to consider completing the FAFSA on the web worksheet prior to filling in the information on-line. The FAFSA may be filed at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you estimate information, you must correct it once tax returns are complete.
Beginning October 2009, the Office of Financial Aid and Student Employment Program a phase-in of an online timesheet system for student employees will be launched. Each month, a new group of departments will be introduced into the system until the entire campus community is online. We anticipate the phase-in to be complete by February 2010.
The Office of Financial Aid will be closed on December 24. 2009 through January 1, 2010 for the holiday break. Additional Office closings typically include Martin Luther King's Birthday, President's Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day after. During these days, please feel free to leave a voicemail, if calling, or email finaid@wagner.edu. The fax is operational 24 hours a day.
