Financial Aid

Fill out your FAFSA at fafsa.ed.gov, and complete the Loan Entrance Counseling and the Master Promissory Note at studentloans.gov. See the steps above for details.

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is provided by the federal government and must be completed to apply for federal aid, such as grants and loans.

Los Angeles Pacific University’s school code is 042788

To qualify for financial aid through the FAFSA, you must meet the following criteria:

1. Must be enrolled as a student at least half-time for each term you are seeking aid.
2. Can not be in default on a student loan.
3. Can not have had any drug convictions while receiving federal aid.
4. Must be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen.
5. For males, must be in compliance with Selective Service registration requirements.

With your FAFSA information, LAPU is able to offer you a package of Federal Grants, State Grants, and Federal Direct Loans that will be comprised of Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans and PLUS Loans.

LAPU awards students based on their cost of attendance. This includes all tuition costs, plus a small living expense, for each term that you meet eligibility requirements within the academic year. The exact amount of the cost of attendance varies from student to student depending on a variety of factors, including academic program and living arrangements. See the LAPU Catalog for more details.

Your income is used as part of the formula in the FAFSA to determine your EFC (Expected Family Contribution). The EFC on your FAFSA will determine the amount of Federal Direct Subsidized Loans you will qualify for as an undergraduate student accepted into a financial aid eligible program of study.
