Application Procedure

The fastest and easiest way to apply for financial aid is by completing the application online. FAFSA on the Web is available at www.fafsa.ed.gov. When the student completes the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), Hunter College should be included among the colleges to which the application information is reported. When the FAFSA is processed, CUNY will receive an electronic record of the student’s application information. The student may be required to provide additional documentation to the Office of Financial Aid to verify the application information or to clarify any discrepancies in the application.

New York State resident students can apply for both federal and New York State aid during a single on-line session. After completing FAFSA on the Web, New York State residents are able to link to the TAP on the Web Form, which is pre-filled with their FAFSA data.

In order to request a Federal Direct Loan at Hunter College, the student must complete the FAFSA and complete an on-line Federal Direct Loan Request on the Hunter College Office of Financial Aid Web site at www.hunter.cuny.edu/finaid.
