Questions about Financial Aid

How do I apply for financial aid?

Your first step, before requesting financial aid, is to apply for admission to Troy University. To apply for financial aid, you will need to have an FSA ID, which can be obtained from fsaid.ed.gov. After those criteria have been met you will then be ready to complete and submit your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). 

 

I have applied for financial aid. What is my next step?

After you have applied for aid you will need to monitor your TROY email for updates and requests that may come from the Financial Aid office (troyfinancialaid@troy.edu). Please send any requested documents to us via email from your TROY account. Throughout the process you should check the status of your financial aid.

 

 

How do I check my financial aid status?

Visit the Financial Aid Self-Service portal. You may also submit a Helpdesk ticket to the Financial Aid Office and a representative will contact you within 24 business hours.

 

 When will I receive my financial aid?

After you have been awarded financial aid, and successfully responded to your financial aid offer, you will need to complete the Entrance Counseling and the Master Promissory Note ( the Entrance Counseling and Promissory Note are only required if you are accepting loan funds) at studentaid.gov. Disbursements are released within 24-48 hours after the final day to drop/add classes each semester or term. Any refunds will be sent within 2-3 business days after aid has been disbursed to the school.
