2006-2007 Financial Aid Renewal Reminder

Reminder: All continuing financial aid students who provided an e-mail address on their 2005-2006 FAFSA will be sent a 2006-2007 renewal reminder e-mail from the Department of Education during November-December 2005. Those who did not provide an e-mail address will receive a reminder letter.

Note: The Department of Education has made several major changes to the renewal application process for 2006-2007. The biggest change is that all renewal eligible applicants must use the Web to reapply for financial aid, as paper renewal FAFSA’s will no longer be printed or mailed. All renewal eligible applicants can access the renewal FAFSA on the Web using their PIN to complete, sign, and submit a 2006-2007 renewal FAFSA, after January 1, 2006. Please use winter break to gather your updated information so that you will be ready to file early.

You are encouraged to complete the FAFSA prior to the HPU priority deadline of March 1, 2006 to be eligible for all available funds.

Please visit www.hpu.edu/financialaid for more information or call the Financial Aid Office at 544-0253 for assistance.
