Maryville College uses the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to administer all federal, state and need-based institutional programs. The FAFSA must be filed every year to qualify for financial assistance.
The Process
After October 1, you must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit it to the federal processor for the upcoming academic year. You can apply online and transmit the FAFSA electronically* at Studentaid.gov/. If you plan on signing the FAFSA electronically, you and your parent (if you are a dependent student), must apply for a FSA ID prior to completing the FAFSA online. You may apply for a FSA ID at StudentAid.gov. We recommend that students apply for a FSA ID number to not only electronically sign the FAFSA, but also to track the processing of the FAFSA, make corrections online if necessary, and access all of their federal student aid records online, including federal student loan information.
NOTE: Be sure to include Maryville College’s school code (003505) on your FAFSA.
* In compliance with the Federal Paper Reduction Act, the Department of Education is no longer supplying paper FAFSA forms to Maryville College. The form is available to print and mail in from this website or by calling the Department of Education at 1-800-433-3243.
Important Information:
- To be considered for need-based Tennessee Student Assistance Awards, students should complete the FAFSA by February 1.
- Your FAFSA will allow you to be awarded aid for one academic year. You must file a FAFSA renewal in subsequent years to continue to receive financial aid.
- To learn more about the process of applying for federal financial aid and the types of federal financial aid programs available you may access “The Student Guide” at Studentaid.gov/. The Student Guide is a publication provided by the Department of Education to help educate students and families regarding federal financial aid.

Award Process
