Financial aid is renewable each year, as long as you continue to demonstrate financial need and meet academic and personal standards established by Saint Anselm College. However, you must reapply each year and submit all required financial aid paperwork by April 15. Visit the Deadlines Web page for information about important financial aid deadlines you need to meet.

All current students must submit the following documents by April 15th:

• CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE (school code 3748)
• FAFSA (school code 002587)
• Tax Information submitted directly to the College Board IDOC Program (more information below)
  • Copies of federal tax returns for the student and parent, signed with all schedules
  • Copies of student and parent W-2 forms
• Student Tax Non-Filing Statement   if student taxes are not filed
• Parent Tax Non-Filing Statement if parent taxes are not filed

Financial Aid Deadline
The deadline to apply "on time" for financial aid is April 15. Students missing that deadline will lose a percentage of their need-based Saint Anselm College grant and scholarship aid for the following year.

Saint Anselm college aid will be reduced based upon the number of days by which a student misses the April 15 deadline. We assess a 5% reduction in need-based aid for each month that you are late.

Shortly after completing the CSS Profile, the College Board IDOC Program will e-mail the tax submission instructions to the e-mail used to register for the CSS profile. Please submit one packet of tax information containing the signed federal tax forms for the parents and the student, including all schedules, and copies of all W-2 forms to the College Board IDOC Program. 

The College Board will provide the Office of Financial Aid with the tax information in a more useable form. If you do not receive the submission instructions from the college board within a week of completeing the profile form, please contact the college board at (305) 829-9793.

We believe that financing a student's education is a family responsibility to the extent that the family is able to help. Unless you qualify as an independent student by federal standards, or have highly unusual circumstances, you must file with your parents. You should talk to a member of the financial aid staff if you believe you have circumstances that warrant special consideration.
