If you're a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen, you may be able to receive federal financial aid to help you fund your higher education. Walden University is approved by the U.S. Department of Education to participate in a variety of grant and loan programs.
If you plan on using financial aid, we recommend that you start your FAFSA now.
For many of our students, enrolling at Walden starts with financial aid. This may seem like a daunting task—but we're here to put your fears at ease. Our dedicated financial aid team has helped thousands of students seamlessly apply for and receive their financial aid packages. The key is to start the process as soon as possible to ensure your financial aid package is offered prior to your intended start date. To get started, follow the steps to the right or contact us to speak with an Enrollment Specialist who will walk you through the process.
1. FILL OUT A FAFSA
Submit your FAFSA at the same time you apply for admission. Walden's Title IV Code is 025042.
2. CHECK YOUR STATUS
Once your Student Aid Report (SAR) is received by the Office of Financial Aid, you can monitor the status of your financial aid application on Walden's online financial aid system (myFinAid).
3. REVIEW YOUR OFFER
Once your eligibility is determined, you will receive an e-mail from the Office of Financial Aid notifying you that your financial aid offer is available for review.
4. RECEIVE YOUR AWARDS
Once you have accepted your awards and your loans have originated, your financial aid funds will be waiting for disbursement to Walden University.
Federal aid received at another institution may impact the amount of federal aid that you may receive at Walden. As required by federal regulations, Walden participates in the transfer monitoring process whereby the U.S. Department of Education may take up to 90 days into the start of your first term or payment period to notify Walden that you have federal aid offered at another institution that overlaps your enrollment dates at Walden. The Office of Financial Aid may not be able to make an initial financial aid offer, may make an initial offer at a reduced amount, or may have to cancel or reduce aid that has already been offered if we receive information that you have applied for and/or received federal aid at another institution for an overlapping period. For example, if the academic year at your prior institution ends even one day after your start quarter/semester, subscription period, or financial aid academic year at Walden, you have an overlapping period and Walden must deduct aid received at the other institution from your annual eligibility at Walden.
For Walden programs that allow mid-term starts, the start date of the full term is used to determine if there is an overlap with the prior institution.
Walden provides multiple resources to students while attending Walden. There are two key financial aid sites you will be using when receiving financial aid:
* Walden's Believe & Achieve Scholarship™ is available for new students starting on February 6, 2023, and later. For a full list of eligible programs and details on award amounts and eligibility visit www.waldenu.edu/financial-aid/grants-and-scholarships-details. Tuition-free coursework must be applied to the final courses in the program of enrollment prior to graduation.
† All tuition reductions, grants, or scholarships are subject to specific eligibility requirements. Contact a Walden University enrollment specialist for details.
Please note: There are program-specific transfer of credit criteria. Students should check the Transfer Maximum by Program table in the Walden University Student Handbook.
Many countries have their own accrediting bodies, and degree recognition differs from country to country. Prospective students who reside outside of the United States are advised to review accreditation requirements for their own country to confirm recognition of their Walden program of choice.
