• You must submit all your required admissions documents and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) by the deadline of March 1 to be considered.
• Submit all requested financial aid forms and supporting documents by this same date.
• You must provide a valid social security number to TWUon your application for admission or directly to the Office of the University Registrar by the priority deadline to allow for processing of your FAFSA and consideration for the Zero Tuition Guarantee.
• Because students do not know in advance if they have been chosen for verification, families should consider submitting the FAFSA by January 15.
