Apply for Aid
Steps to Apply for Aid
1. Apply for admission to ASUMH
2. Apply for a Federal Student Aid ID username and password for the student and parent, if dependent, at https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch.
3. Complete the FAFSA on-line at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa using the FSA ID username and password for the student and parent.
- Use the Federal School Code 042544 when filing the FAFSA to have the results sent to ASUMH.
File the appropriate FAFSA.
- 2025-2026 FAFSA is for Fall 2025, Spring 2026, and Summer 2026
- 2024-2025 FAFSA is for Fall 2024, Spring 2025, and Summer 2025
4. After filing the FAFSA, there can be additional paperwork to complete for the ASUMH Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.
Watch your school email address only for additional information requests.
Additional documents may be required if you were chosen for verification. Many students who apply for Federal Financial Aid through the FAFSA are selected by the Central Processor to be verified. If you are selected, you will be required to provide additional verification documentation which will be requested on an as needed basis.
If a student who is selected for verification does not complete the verification process, then any federal and / or need-based aid (Pell grant, SEOG, Work-Study, Federal Direct loans, certain Scholarships, and institutional aid) will NOT be awarded or disbursed.
5. Freshman Arkansas residents attending college for the first time can qualify for the ASUMH Academic Distinction Scholarship simply by applying for admission to ASUMH.
