Weitzman School of Design Checklist

2024-2025 Financial Aid Application Checklist

In order to be considered for federal aid, you must submit a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), which requires information from you and your spouse, if applicable.

It is important to check the financial aid information for your school because each graduate school at Penn administers its own financial aid, and may require additional documents to determine your eligibility for institutional grant funding. 

Deadlines

Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by May 1, 2024 to ensure timely processing of your financial aid package. FAFSAs received after this date will be processed as quickly as possible.
