Based on the information that you provided on your FAFSA, we will calculate your estimated eligibility for the financial aid programs offered at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. All federal financial aid applicants must complete a Financial Aid Data/Authorization Form and Verification Worksheet. These forms will be available in the Student Financial Services Office and on the Financial Aid Web. The Internet address is http://uapb.edu/. We will send a Financial Aid Award Notice to your permanent home address once we have received all necessary forms.

Awards for continuing undergraduates will be posted on E-Lion Net and continuing students can also request a “traditional” financial aid award letter by calling or sending an e-mail to finaid@uapb.edu.

Students should review the information on their Awards Notice. Students must sign awards notice and return it to the Office of Student Financial Services within 2 weeks of receiving their award notice. You must complete and return this form BEFORE we credit funds to your account and transmit you Stafford loan eligibility to your lender.

Approximately 30% of all applications are picked for a process called verification by the Department of Education however UAPB has the option of verifying applications with conflicting information. If your application is picked for verification, you and your parents will need to submit complete (all schedules and W-2 forms), signed copies of your 2006 federal tax returns. We will also send you the 2006-2007 federal verification worksheet. All documents should be returned directly to the Office of Financial Aid. Aid awards may need to be adjusted if there are differences between the data reported on the FAFSA and that reported on your tax returns and verification addendum.

The federal processor may list additional documentation requirements or problems with the data you submitted on your SAR. We cannot finalize your award until you submit all required documentation to the Office of Financial Aid for review.

Incoming students who wish to apply for a Federal Stafford Loan must also complete and return a “Federal Stafford Master Promissory Note” form. This form is available online at http://www.slgfa.org. Also student loan entrance interview must be completed; this form is also available online at http://www.mapping-your-future.org.
