COMPLETE THE FAFSA

If you meet all of the requirements from the previous page, but have not yet completed a 2019-2020 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at FAFSA.gov, please do so as soon as possible.

It takes 2-3 business days for your FAFSA information to be received by UTEP and some students may need to submit additional documentation. Once your FAFSA has been processed by UTEP, you will be notified and may still be able to complete the CARES Act application.

Be advised, however, that funds are limited. Completing the FAFSA may still qualify you for other Federal and State Student Aid Programs.
