Graduate Financial Aid Application Procedures
The Office of Financial Aid must receive the following documents before an applicant is reviewed for financial assistance:
1. FAFSA
Processed data from the 2008-2009 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Renewal FAFSA. For a quicker processing time submit your FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA to the federal processor on-line by using FAFSA on The Web at www.fafsa.ed.gov anytime on or after January 1, 2008. Complete the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA (paper or electronic) using income and asset information from the 2007 calendar year. If you have not completed your 2007 federal taxes, provide the information using your best estimate. Be sure to list Wheelock College, Federal School Code 002228 on the FAFSA or Renewal FAFSA to insure that Wheelock receives the processed results.
