Financial Aid Checklist for Students Transferring to Park
To Transfer Financial Aid Eligibility from Another School to Park:
- You must apply for admission to Park University before aid can be processed. You must be fully admitted to Park for any financial aid to be released.
- RFA (Request for Financial Aid) - Immediately complete a Park Request for Financial Aid. If additional documents are required, you will be notified. *
- SAR (Student Aid Report) - You must provide us with a copy of your Student Aid Report mailed to you by the Department of Education. Or, if you already listed Park as one of the institutions you will be attending this school year, Park can obtain a copy electronically. A request for a duplicate SAR can be made by calling the Federal Student Aid Programs at 1-800-4FEDAID. You can also request that Park be added to your SAR, by giving them our school code (The Park University code is 002498). Also, if you provide SFS with your SSN, DRN and most current transaction # from your SAR, we can electronically add Park to your SAR.
- If you have not already applied for federal financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The paper FAFSA can be returned to the Park SFS office for processing, or it may be completed directly on-line with the Department of Education.* Remember to use our School Code when completing the form (The Park University code is 002498).
- Student Loan Recipients - If you received a Federal Stafford, Direct, Parent or Perkins Student Loan in the previous semester and are transferring to Park, you should contact the lending institution to CANCEL any subsequent loan disbursement at your previous school. You must REAPPLY for the loan(s) at Park.
- Missouri Higher Education Academic Scholarship Program - An applicant may change his or her approved institution choice prior to the beginning of the first day of classes and may transfer between approved institutions during the academic year. The deadline for such actions is August 1 for the fall semester and January 1 for the winter or spring semester. Failure to notify the Coordinating Board by the dates of such action may result in loss of the award.
- If you have already received a grant from the Charles Gallagher Student Financial Assistance Program (Formerly Missouri Grant Program) at another Missouri institution during the previous academic year or the fall semester and you are transferring for the spring semester, you must notify Student Financial Services at Park. You must also inform the Charles Gallagher Student Financial Assistance Program in writing that you are transferring to Park.
- Aid Award - You will be informed by Park of your Financial Aid Award in the form of an Award Letter. Please comply with all instructions accompanying this letter.
- If you have been admitted with a low grade point average or are on 'academic probation', you may not be in compliance with Park's Academic Progress Policy and may not be entitled to financial aid. Please contact the Student Financial Services Office for additional information.
