Financial Aid Awards Process

Requirements

How do I apply for financial aid?

1. Students apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
2. Students received a Student Aid Report (SAR) in the mail or an e-mail confirmation. Financial Aid at ENMU receives the same information within one to two weeks and sends a request to the student if any additional documents are needed.

Once the file is complete, the student’s financial aid is awarded , based on the following:

• Cost of Attendance
• Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
• Other Financial Assistance
• Financial Need (Unmet Need)
• Availability of Funds

What is “Other Financial Assistance”?

Other financial assistance refers to any outside scholarships, participation awards, grants or assistance received by the student other than federal financial aid.
