Applying for Financial Aid

Any student interested in receiving financial aid will first have to obtain a PIN number then complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form. You'll want to collect a copy of your previous year's tax return, your social security number, and driver's license number before you begin. If you're considered a dependent student, you'll need to collect your parents' information as well before beginning.

Follow this link to create or request a copy of your PIN. This step takes less than 3 minutes.

To fill out a FAFSA form online, visit www.FAFSA.ed.gov. The form can take between 15-30 minutes, but it's definitely worth your time. Once you submit your form, it’s sent to the school electronically. Once we can determine your eligibility, we'll give you a call.

Paper applications are also available. Please let us know if you'd like us to send one out to you. Or, better yet, set up an appointment to come in and we'll help you through it.

Douglas J's School Code is 025882 (Michigan and Tennessee schools) and 041410 (Chicago).
