Financial Aid Process

Step 1

Complete Your FAFSA:

• The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine eligibility for federal, state and Warner aid. Both student and parent will be required to create an FSA ID. In order to complete the FAFSA, you will need to have access to your tax information. The easiest way to do this is by using the Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) within the FAFSA. Warner’s college code is 008848. Click here to start your FAFSA.
• The FAFSA opens applications on October 1 for the following academic year. For example, if you’re starting college in Fall 2022, the earliest you can submit your FAFSA is October 1, 2021. To be given the greatest consideration for financial aid programs, you should complete the FAFSA prior to March 1, which is the Warner University priority date. Some programs are first-come, first-served, so be sure to apply early to avoid losing out on potential funding opportunities. If you or your family’s financial situation has changed significantly from what is reflected on your federal 2020 income tax return (for example, if you’ve lost a job or otherwise experienced a significant drop in income), you may be eligible to have your financial aid adjusted (documentation is required).  Complete the FAFSA application as instructed (including the transfer of tax return and income information), submit, and contact Warner’s Financial Aid Department for review (allow 72 hours for your FAFSA to be processed and received).  Note: the school’s decision is final and cannot be appealed to the US Department of Education.
