    Complete Your FAFSA

    We hope you’re excited to be admitted to UW-Milwaukee! We know that finances are an important factor in your college decision process, so we would encourage you to submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You must complete FAFSA to be considered for financial aid and many UWM scholarships.

    Make sure to include UWM as a recipient of your FAFSA by including school code 003896 on your form. If you've already submitted your FAFSA please add UWM's code to your existing application. 

    The 2026-27 FAFSA for students starting in UWinteriM, Spring, or Summer 2027 is now open. Please watch your email for more information. Your application portal checklist item will be automatically marked as complete once we receive this information.

    The 2027-28 FAFSA for students starting in Fall 2027 is now open. Please watch your email for more information. Please Note: We will not receive student information from completed applications until late November. Your application portal checklist item will be automatically marked as complete once we receive this information.


    If you have questions regarding eligibility to complete the FAFSA or need assistance, connect with your admissions counselor and they can assist you with your next steps. Be sure to visit the Student Financial Service website for FAFSA filing tips.
