Step 1: Complete the 2008-09 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
The FAFSA is required to receive University grants, Cal Grant,
Federal Loans, Federal Grants, and Federal Work Study. Students
can obtain this form from any high school college counselor or any
college financial aid office, or on the web. The form
may take up to six to eight weeks to process if you submit it by mail. We
recommend FAFSA on the Web to submit
your form electronically.
FAFSA on the Web is a web site that allows you to complete and submit your
FAFSA information on-line. Apply for a PIN or personal
identification number right away at
www.pin.ed.gov so you can
sign your FAFSA electronically and for faster processing. Dependent
students should have one of their parents get a PIN also. The
address to complete your FAFSA on the Web is
http://www.fafsa.ed.gov.
You may contact the Federal Processor at 1-800-433-3243, if you need
additional information.
The FAFSA completion priority deadline is February 15.
Use estimated tax figures to complete your FAFSA
if your federal tax returns are not available by our institutional
priority
deadline. If you were not able to get it in by February 15,
please still submit the FAFSA as soon as possible. The FAFSA school code for Pepperdine University
is 001264.
Step 2: 2008-2009 Verification Worksheet
The verification
worksheet priority deadline is February 15. If you were not
able to get it in by February 15, please still submit the

Step 3: Federal Income Tax Return and W-2
Submit signed and filed photocopies of the Federal income tax returns
including all schedules and W-2s for both the student and

return is submitted by printing the student’s first name, last name,
and social security number at the top right hand corner of
the parent(s) returns, if the student is dependent, or the spouse's
returns (if applicable) for independent students.

not eligible to receive financial assistance.
