Apply for Aid

This process applies to all UNH students, whether you're at Durham, Manchester, online through the College of Professional Studies, or at Franklin Pierce School of Law.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is required to establish eligibility for federal, state and university grants, loans and work-study jobs.

The form is used to calculate your Student Aid Index (SAI), which determines the types of aid you are eligible to receive. Most students who complete the FAFSA are eligible for student loans.

While the priority date for filing is March 1, it’s best to file as early as possible. 

When applying, use the UNH federal school code (also called the Title IV Code): 002589

Summer Work-Study, Pell Grant and Direct Loan fund eligibility is evaluated through completion of the FAFSA for the upcoming academic year. You must file a FAFSA annually. Additionally, you need to fill out a Request for Summer Aid form; this form can be found in Webcat once summer course registration is available.

You must be a degree candidate to be considered for Work-Study, Pell Grant and Direct Loan and enrolled at least half-time to receive a Direct Loan or a PLUS loan (six credits for undergraduates, five credits for graduate students).

Participation in January Term can have an effect on a student's academic year financial aid or full- or part-time status at UNH.

Summer and January term aid works differently at each campus. Contact your campus financial aid office before you register.
