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.
Male citizens of the U.S. and male immigrant aliens 18
through 25 years old must be registered with the U.S.
Selective Service System to be eligible for federal student
loans and grants. Men can register at any post office, or
register online at
http://www.sss.gov/regist.htm.
You must reapply for financial aid every
year.
