Question

Answer

If you are offered financial aid from non-federal or non-institutional sources, you must report these awards to OSFA as soon as you are made aware of them. Federal regulations require that your financial aid awards be based on the difference between your estimated cost of attendance and your available resources (calculated Expected Family Contribution from the FAFSA and sources of outside assistance). OSFA will recalculate your financial aid award offer based on this information, and you will receive a revised award letter. Graduate students admitted to the Arizona Online campus will only be considered for federal financial aid including the Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loan, Federal Graduate PLUS Loan, and Federal Work Study. If a graduate student switches from the University of Arizona Main campus to the Arizona Online campus, any institutional financial aid, including fellowships, scholarships, teaching assistantships, and research assistantships will be forfeited.
