Apply for Financial Aid in three steps
Complete the FAFSA to establish your eligibility for federal financial assistance – including grants, work-study, and low-interest loans.
Hot Tip: Register for a Federal Student Aid (FSA) ID (PDF) so you can quickly and easily transfer IRS data for you and your parents using IRS data retrieval.
Complete the CSS Profile to be considered for Emory-funded, need-based grant programs.
Hot Tip: Although the CSS Profile costs $25 to complete, the College Board offers fee waivers to eligible first year students. Learn whether you qualify for a College Board Fee Waiver
