Applying For Federal Financial Aid
All federal grants, loans and federal work study program funds are awarded based on the information you provide on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You may obtain a FAFSA by contacting the MACU Student Financial Services Office, local colleges or your high school guidance counselor.
Make sure that you list MACU under the information Release section. MACU's college (school) code is 006942. In order to receive federal financial aid, you must complete the FAFSA and submit it for processing. If you have questions about the FAFSA, contact the MACU Student Financial Services Office (405) 691-3800.
The easiest way to apply for financial assistance is to apply online by following the links listed below.
Step One
Apply for a U.S. Department of Education PIN (Personal Identification Number) before filing your FAFSA On The Web. http://www.pin.ed.gov
If parent information is required on the FAFSA, your parent must also apply for a PIN in their name.
Using a PIN will allow you to sign your FAFSA application electronically.
Do Not share your PIN with anyone!
Step Two
Complete the FAFSA On The Web application http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. Step by step instructions are provided on the FAFSA website including online help. You may also call the Federal Student Aid Information Center at 1-800-4-FED-AID.
Once your FAFSA application is processed, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) in approximately 3-5 days (if you provided an e-mail address).
If your SAR is marked for verification by the Department of Education, you will be asked to submit additional documents to the MACU Student Financial Services Office. You will receive information from the Student Financial Services Office detailing the additional required documents.
Once verification is completed, an Award Letter detailing the financial assistance will be sent to you. Follow the instructions to accept, reduce or decline any awards and complete any required loan documents online.
