Completing a FAFSA is a good starting point, as it will help determine your eligibility for many types of financial aid. Most graduate students are considered independent, and funding often includes a combination of scholarships and federal student loans. Grants are more limited at the graduate level. Thoughtful planning can make a meaningful difference.

Some scholarships are based on merit, others on ministry involvement, leadership, or service. Each has its own criteria and deadlines, and not all scholarships require FAFSA information. Starting early allows you to explore more opportunities with less stress.

If loans are part of your funding plan, borrowing thoughtfully matters—especially for students preparing for ministry, nonprofit, or service-oriented work. Understanding repayment options and borrowing only what you need can help support long-term financial well-being.

If your financial situation has changed, you are not alone. After completing the FAFSA, you should consider discussing your special circumstances directly with Fuller's financial aid office. While adjustments are not guaranteed, the team can guide you on possible next steps.

The SFS Outreach Team is available to help explain financial aid steps, timelines, and resources. While we don't access FAFSA applications or make aid decisions, we're here to help you feel informed and supported as you navigate the process. Asking questions early is a wise part of discernment. Whether you're exploring options or preparing to enroll, we can help you take the next step with clarity and confidence.

Financial aid is reviewed annually, and your enrollment status can affect eligibility. Many students find it helpful to plan quarter by quarter and revisit their funding plan as their academic and personal circumstances evolve.
