When Will Students Receive a Financial Aid Offer?
Wednesday, January 24, 2024
Cedarville University plans to begin sending award notifications to fall 2024 new students as soon as possible after the Department of Education begins sending FAFSA results to institutions (we hope to begin receiving information in late January or early February). Having your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completed is the best way to ensure that we are able to award your student as much financial aid as possible.
The FAFSA opened on December 31, 2023, and has finished a "soft launch" rollout. If you have not yet completed it, we encourage you to do so soon. Remember, the FAFSA is required to access all need-based scholarships at Cedarville as well as state and federal grants and low-interest federal loans.
