How to Apply

1. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid at www.fafsa.ed.gov.  It is available for completion on January 1st of each year for the next academic year. Enter school code:

UNIV OF AR FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES 001109
(listing the wrong school code could considerably delay your financial aid)

2. You should receive a Student Aid Report by e-mail within 4-6 days of the date the FAFSA was submitted (if a valid e-mail address was included when the FAFSA was filed). If a valid e-mail address was not provided or if the name and social security number do not match with the Social Security Administration's records, the student will be mailed a paper Student Aid Report within 2 to 4 weeks.

      • Review the Student Aid report and make sure everything is correct. Please verify that the school code lists:         

UNIV OF AR FOR MEDICAL SCIENCES 001109. 

Make any corrections on the FAFSA website by using your PIN or notify our office to make corrections.

3. Upon completion of your student aid file and determination of eligibility, an award notification letter will be issued.  The letter must be returned to Student Financial Services-Awards Division indicating:

      • Intent to accept or decline the loan as awarded
      • Intent to reduce loan amount as awarded (optional)
      

4. Complete Entrance Loan Counseling.

5. The student must sign the Direct Loans Master Promissory Note (MPN) online at www.studentloans.gov/mydirectloan in order for loan funds to be available.                   

6. Our office will receive confirmation of completion and submit loans once steps 2-5 have been satisfied.

7. Loan funds are transmitted electronically on dates set by UAMS according to the loan period.
