The 2012-2013 Financial Aid Application Instructions

The process to apply for financial aid has undergone a significant improvement, designed to make it easier and more secure for our students. The FAFSA now offers the "IRS Data Match Tool" allowing students to simply pre-populate their tax information on the FAFSA—eliminating the need to enter tax information manually. This process will also eliminate the need for most students to have to turn in additional documents such as the Augsburg Aid form and their Federal1040 tax form.

Steps and Deadlines to Apply for Financial Aid- Fall 2012-Spring 2013

  1. File your federal taxes electronically. Students who do not file taxes or are married but file their taxes separately, will be unable to use the IRS Data Match Tool. Please file your FAFSA as you normally would in the past.
  2. Wait two weeks after filing your taxes to allow the IRS to update your information and then complete your FAFSA online, using the IRS Data Match process.
  3. Some students will need to submit additional documents to our office.Our office will inform you by email or mail if you are selected for verification by the Department of Education. If selected, please follow the instructions listed below.*

*Steps to complete if selected for Verification:*

  1. Submit the 2012-2013 Augsburg Aid Form
  2. If we require a 2011 Tax Transcript, please re-submit your financial information on your FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval tool. If you are unable to complete this process please submit a copy of your tax transcript. Go to www.irs.gov to order a transcript.   

Current Students Only: We are encouraging students to complete their 2012-2013 FAFSA by May 1, 2012.
