Financial aid is available for students who qualify. Financial aid consists of grants, scholarships, loans, student employment, credits/waivers, reimbursement programs, and other financial arrangements. Students must be matriculated in an eligible degree or certificate program and be enrolled in courses required for that program to receive financial aid. To apply for financial aid, students must complete the FASFA.
Financial aid is applied to students' charges following the end of the add/drop period.
After receiving financial aid, students who withdraw from the university will be reviewed to determine the amount of financial aid the student earned before withdrawing. Students who withdraw may be required to return some or all financial aid. Please see our Financial Aid page for more information.
Correct Social Security Number/Tax Identification Number
The University of Massachusetts Lowell must obtain your correct social security number (SSN) to file certain information returns with the IRS and furnish a statement. The university's returns contain information about qualified tuition and related expenses (Form 1098-T, Tuition Payments Statement). The information about your tuition will help determine whether you or the person who can claim you as a dependent may take an education tax deduction.
