Financial Aid Checklist
We have created a checklist to help guide you through the financial aid process.
Apply for Admission
1
The first step is to apply for admission to Lincoln Memorial University!
Undergraduate ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
Complete the FAFSA
2
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to receive financial aid.
· Review the eligibility requirements.
· If new to the process, create an FSA ID and password. If you are a dependent student, your parent must also create an FSA ID. All contributors (anyone providing their information on a student's FAFSA) must have their own FSA ID.
· Complete the FAFSA and use our school code, 003502, to add LMU to your application.
· The student and their contributor(s) must consent and approve to have Federal Tax Information (FTI) transferred from the IRS into the FAFSA through the FUTURE Act Direct Data Exchange (FA-DDX) process when completing the FAFSA.
Check for Missing Documents
3
After receiving your FAFSA, the Office of Student Financial Services may need additional information before processing your financial aid.
· Monitor your LMU email account and MyLMU Self-Service regularly.
· To monitor where you are in the financial aid process, go to the Self-Service Menu in MyLMU, select "Webadvisor for Students" and then "Financial Aid.” Review the checklist inside MyLMU for any missing documents and submit them promptly.
Review Your Financial Aid Offer
4
Once your financial aid is processed, you will receive a financial aid offer that details the financial aid you are eligible for.
· When your financial aid offer is complete, you will receive an email to your LMU email account, and for new students, a financial aid folder will be mailed to the address on file.
· Financial aid offers can be viewed through the MyLMU Self-Service Menu by selecting "Webadvisor for Students" and then "Financial Aid." Take time to review your offer carefully.
· Grants and scholarships are automatically accepted.
· Accept or decline the loans that were offered. We offer students their maximum eligibility for Federal Student Loans. If you wish to borrow a lesser amount, complete and submit a Loan Request Form. Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans cannot be accepted until the parent completes the required loan steps in the next step.
Complete Loan Requirements
5
if you accept student loans, you (the parent for Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans) must complete additional requirements.
· Federal Direct Subsidized/Unsubsidized Loans:
· Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loan:

Accept the loan/credit check authorization in the MyLMU Self-Service Menu when accepting the loan

After accepting your financial aid offer and registering for classes, you can view account balances (or credits) through MyLMU and make any necessary payments.
· Students can view their account summary/statement and pay their bill anytime through the MyLMU Self-Service Menu by selecting "Webadvisor for Students" and then "View Account and Make Payments."
· Payment plan options are available for most students by selecting "LMU and JFWA Payment Plans" under the "Quick Links tab in MyLMU". Some professional programs may be excluded.
