Welcome Back!   The information on these pages can help you learn more about renewing your FAFSA and scholarships.

 

Renewal FAFSA

 

Any current student who filed a FAFSA for the previous year will receive a reminder to complete the Renewal Application on-line. The on-line Renewal Application contains the information that the student entered on the previous year’s application. The student simply needs to update any items that have changed.

NOTE: Previous school codes will not be rolled over; please enter Messiah College’s code: 003298.

 

Renewal Application reminders will be sent directly to the student’s home address or email address from the Federal processor.

 

The FAFSA is used to apply for:

• The Federal Pell Grant and to determine eligibility for:
  
• Federal Work-Study (check “Work Study” for question 26 (“What types of student aid interest you?”) on the FOTW Worksheet). Indicating an interest in student employment will not decrease your grants or scholarships.
  
• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (no separate application necessary)
  
• Federal Perkins Loan (no separate application necessary)
  
• Federal Stafford Loans (check “Student Loans” for question 26 (“What types of student aid interest you?”) on the FOTW Worksheet). See additional instructions at top of this page. Indicating an interest in student loans will not decrease your grants or scholarships.
  
• State Grants (some require separate application)
• Messiah College grants and scholarships based on financial need (no separate application necessary)
