Financial Aid

We know that applying for Financial Aid can be rather intimidating, so we try to make the process run as smoothly as possible for our students. Our goal is to educate and guide students through the financial aid process. We care about our students and our service to them. Here at Mayville State University, you can always count on personal service. We will work with you to select the right combination of aid available that is tailored to your needs, and then guide you through the process.

The menu to the left is there to help you explore the world of financial aid and answer questions you may have. Of course, you are always welcome to call, write or email us with questions or concerns. We look forward to serving each student and making the financial aid process a positive experience.

How to Apply for Financial Aid

The first step in applying for Financial Aid is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Students who want to apply for financial aid must complete and submit a FAFSA for every school year. Your aid eligibility is based on your current financial circumstances, so the Department of Education requires you to reapply every year so that they can re-evaluate your need for assistance.

Both students and parents need a PIN to sign the FAFSA electronically. The PIN will also be needed to sign the master promissory note and access personal financial aid information on the Department of Education Web sites.

Apply Early! The ND State Priority Deadline is March 15 of each year! If you want to be considered for the greatest possible amount of aid, you must submit your FAFSA before that deadline.
