FAFSA
The SEBS EOF program requires all students to file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application or the New Jersey Alternative Financial Aid Application (for eligible NJ DREAMers) by the federal deadline. Early submission is crucial to ensure priority funding and to address any potential issues promptly.
In order to complete the application you will need:
- An FSA ID for both the student and parent, Social Security number, and Alien Registration number (if you are not a U.S. citizen)
- Driver’s license number
- Tax forms or transcripts for both parents and student, untaxed income documents, and records of assets/savings (specific tax years may vary, so please contact the RU Financial Aid Office for the correct year).
Students should regularly check their myRutgers portal for any document requests from the Rutgers Financial Aid Office. For state aid, including the Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) and EOF grant, log in to NJFAMS via HESAA to review your To-Do List and Notifications.
If prompted to complete additional state questions, be ready to provide the necessary documents. Setting up an account on www.irs.gov is also essential to assist with document submission.
Scholarships
For assistance paying for college, it is HIGHLY recommended that students search for scholarships, use payment plans and personal savings options. Students should contact your SEBS EOF counselor if you have concerns about paying your term bill.
