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.
Before beginning the application, UTEP encourages students to have the following available:
-
Students, parents, and borrowers are required to use an FSA ID, made up of a username and password, to access certain U.S. Department of Education websites.
-
Social Security Card
-
Documentation that you are a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or other eligible noncitizen, if applicable
