Office of Financial Aid

The primary purpose of financial aid is to provide assistance to students who otherwise would be unable to pursue their education. The basic premise of financial aid programs is that the primary responsibility for meeting college costs lies with the student and parents. The Financial Aid Office provides aid when the family is unable to meet the cost of attendance. The Financial Aid Office at Seton Hall University is dedicated to assisting students and their families with any issues that may arise as they work through the financial aid process. All students must apply or reapply yearly for financial aid. To be considered for the full range of financial aid available, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available January 1 each year. The processed results of the FAFSA must be received by SHU on or before March 1st to meet our priority date.

Complete the online FAFSA, found here.
Our school code is 002632.
