Important News

Due to the government shutdown, requests for tax return transcripts and verification of non-filing documents are not being processed by the IRS at this time. Students who can use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool in the FAFSA should do so. Students stuck in the verification process due to missing IRS documents should receive an email from our office with additional information as it becomes available.

The 2019-2020 BYU-Idaho Grant/Scholarship Application and the 2019-2020 FAFSA Application are available now for students to complete. Students must complete both by March 1, 2019, to be considered for BYU-Idaho Grants/Awards for the 2019-2020 academic year.
Students may download the new myStudentAid app to complete the FAFSA on their phone. The myStudentAid app is available at the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).

Winter Students

Students who missed the November 1 priority deadline may expect delays in the processing of their FAFSA. Processing time may take up to 8 weeks from the date the last correct verification document was submitted. No short-term loans will be given to students who missed the November 1 priority deadline. No late fees or registration holds will be waived/lifted for students who missed the priority deadline.
Students who attended during Fall 2018 will not receive financial aid for Winter 2019 until final grades have posted for Fall 2018 and the Satisfactory Academic Progress program has been run to verify student eligibility.

Spring Students

The Spring 2019 priority deadline is quickly approaching. The 2018/2019 FAFSA must be submitted by January 1, 2019 and any missing verification documents must be correctly submitted by February 1, 2019. Take your time to complete documents correctly the first time as errors will delay processing. Any students submitting applications or documents after the priority deadline may expect delays and will be responsible for late fees.
Students who attended Fall 2018 and Winter 2019 and are planning to attend Spring 2019 must have their 2019/2020 FAFSA submitted by January 1, 2019. These applications will not show in your student portal until they are pulled into the financial aid system in April. Missing documents, if requested, must then be submitted immediately.
