Financial Aid

The Office of Student Business & Account Services at Auburn University provides financial assistance to students who need aid to attend the university. Students seeking assistance are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. The FAFSA is available for the new aid year beginning each October. Students should apply as early as possible in order to maximize eligibility because many funds are limited. Counselors are available each weekday from 7:45 a.m.–4:45 p.m. in 203 Martin Hall. Application links and instructions are available on the Web at www.auburn.edu/finaid.

Federal aid includes grants, loans, and part-time employment.
