SUMMER FINANCIAL AID PROCESS |
2013-2014 FAFSA ON THE WEB Students and parents may link to the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) to help provide accurate tax information when completing their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The IRS DRT will be available early February 2013 for the 2013-2014 application. This tool provides a faster and more accurate method of completing the FAFSA. FOR NEW UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: Our Priority FAFSA filing deadline is March 1, 2013. This will allow us to provide freshmen and transfer applicants with their financial aid award packages in a timely fashion. You may estimate income data on the fafsa application. Once taxes are filed you will need to update your fafsa with correct income data from taxes. FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS AND CONTINUING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: Because we are encouraging students to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, we are moving our Priority FAFSA filing deadline to May 1, 2013. Reminder Undergraduate Transfer Students:
If you are a NY State resident remember to add Stony Brook's School Code to your TAP record. Use the Change TAP College Code/Address link on the following page - https://web1.hesc.org/hescpub/main?target=renderer_tap_student_inq&select=1
Federal Update Students looking to take out subsidized federal loans for the first time will face new regulations and limits on how much they can borrow. Starting July 1, 2013 students applying for a Direct Subsidized Loan will be limited to borrowing only enough money to cover one-and-a-half times the length of their program of study. These changes are an effort to help students reduce the debt they accumulate during their college years. If a student is still in need of money, they will be limited to unsubsidized loans, scholarships, grants and student employment. The new regulations will apply only to new borrowers, so a student taking out a loan on or before June 30 will not be subject to the limitation. |
