2014-2015 Financial Aid Award

By: Sherri Peterson

The 2014-2015 Financial Aid Awards are now available.  Students were emailed a notice prompting them to view and accept or decline their award on ZagWeb (at http://zagweb.gonzaga.edu/myaward). If your student submitted the 2014-2015 FAFSA and does not have an award, they should contact our office immediately.   If you haven’t submitted the 2014-2015 FAFSA yet, you may still file at fafsa.ed.gov.

The 2014-2015 Out-of-Pocket Cost Worksheet is also available to help you budget for the upcoming year. Payment plan application and information is available through the Student Accounts Office. 

On February 26, 2014, Governor Jay Inslee signed into law the REAL Hope Act (SB 6523), also known as the Washington Dream Act. Beginning with the 2014-15 academic year, this new law expands eligibility for the Washington State Need Grant to non-citizens who meet the program’s eligibility and residency requirements.

Because these students will not file a FAFSA, the Washington State Achievement Council has created the free Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA).  Additional information about eligibility requirements as well as a link to the application is available at www.readysetgrad.org/hope.
