Grants for Undergraduates

Grants are funds that are not repaid.

To be eligible for these grants, students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Generally, grants are applied directly to a student's account.

Some grants or scholarships may require the student to endorse a check before Student Financial Services can apply the funds to the student's account. Student Financial Services will notify the student at his or her Seattle University e-mail address when a check is received that requires the student's endorsement.

Grants at Seattle University include the following:

Federal Grants

Federal Pell Grant
Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)

State Grants

Washington State Need Grant
Students who are not eligible to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) due to their immigration status may still be eligible to apply for a Washington State Need Grant by completing the Washington Application for State Financial Aid (WASFA).

FAFSA Filing Tips

Seattle University School Code: 003790
Select the correct version of the FAFSA to complete.
Sign your FAFSA. The quickest way is to create and use a FSA ID--a user name and password that let you sign your FAFSA electronically. You can apply for a new FSA ID online. Remember: a dependent student's FAFSA requires that both the student and one parent listed on the FAFSA have an FSA ID to sign the FAFSA electronically.
Meet the Seattle University February 1 priority funding deadline.
The FAFSA asks for financial data from two years ago. This allows many students and families who have filed their taxes to electronically retrieve their tax data from the IRS database using the Data Retrieval Tool.
FAFSA RESULTS. You will receive an email acknowledgement from FAFSA letting you know your application has been processed and will be forwarded on to the schools listed. After SU process your FAFSA, you will also get an email from our office with more detailed information.
