Important information regarding Financial Assistance:
To apply for financial aid, you must annually file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. New York State residents should also file the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) Application which can be accessed at the completion of the online FAFSA application or by going to www.hesc.ny.gov. Financial aid decisions can only be made after all of your forms are received by the campus. All decisions are made on a rolling, funds-available basis. It is important to apply early! The FAFSA should be filed no later than March 15 each year in order to maximize all available student financial aid resources. Once the Enrollment Services Office has evaluated your forms, a financial aid award letter is sent directly to you, listing the amount of aid for which you are eligible. All award information is also accessible through your MyLIU account. You must respond online through your MyLIU account to accept or decline loans and work study. New students must also accept or decline offered LIU Post grants and scholarships through their MyLIU account. If selected, the verification process for continuing students must be completed before a financial aid package will be sent to the student. After your freshman year, you must file a renewal FAFSA online no later than March 15 each year in order to receive financial aid. Your MyLIU account makes it easier than ever to manage your financial obligations. To view your current account balance, simply log into your MyLIU account online at my.liu.edu and click on the Account Inquiry link in the Finances section of your Student Center homepage.
