If you are a prospective student who would like to enter Stetson University, you must file the official 2007-2008 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form as soon as possible after January 1st.

Many students are interested in knowing the approximate cost of attending Stetson University. Stetson University offers a simple, one-page Early Estimator Form. To simplify the process, after you submit this form, you will receive an estimated award letter detailing financial aid possibilities.



Instructions for Dependent Students
The Financial Aid Early Estimator Form is designed for U.S. Citizens (or permanent residents) who are single and are dependent on their parents for support. If you don't meet these criteria, please call us for more information.




The information on this form will be used to estimate your eligibility for student financial assistance for the 2007-2008 academic year. We have made it as brief and easy as possible. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that you will eventually complete collects a great deal more information with much more detailed instructions. If your financial circumstances are at all unusual or complicated, please contact us for assistance in completing this form.



Divorced, Separated or Remarried Parents
The federal government has established detailed rules about whose resources must be reported in cases of divorce, separation, and remarriage. In brief, students must report the marital status, income, assets and other information of the parent who has custody plus that person's current spouse (student's step parent), if any. If you have questions about whose information to report, please contact us for advice.
