FAFSA Procedures
FAFSA Requirement
To apply for the federal student loan programs, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). U.S. citizens and eligible non-citizens may qualify for federal student aid. Visit the Federal Student Aid website for a list of basic eligibility requirements.
Procedures to Apply
- Complete the FAFSA. The FAFSA will pull your income tax information directly from the IRS. All law students are considered Independent students. Parental information is not required. For Wake Forest Law to receive your FAFSA results, you must include the law school’s Federal Title IV Code E00514. The Department of Education will generate a FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS) and send the results to you and the schools you have listed on your FAFSA. You will need to renew your FAFSA each year you are enrolled in law school to remain eligible for federal student aid. Please contact the law school Office of Admissions and Financial Aid Office if you have questions regarding the FAFSA.
- Once you are admitted to the law school and we have received your FAFSA, we will send an email detailing your eligibility and next steps.
- Accept/Decline your loan offer in the Financial Aid Portal. You may accept the full amount offered or a partial amount.
- Prior to loan disbursement, Entrance Counseling and the Master Promissory Note(s) must be completed. Visit the Federal Student Aid website to complete.
