How Do I Apply for Scholarships and Financial Aid?

You’ll find the scholarship applications you need through the Scholarship Search link. But your first step should be to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

The FAFSA is required to determine your financial aid eligibility and whether you qualify for loans and grants. Many scholarships also require you to fill out the FAFSA.

If you are a transfer student and already submitted your FAFSA for the academic year, make sure you add UToledo’s code to your application — 003131.

Log in to FAFSA → “Make FAFSA Corrections” → “School Selection” page → add UToledo code

How Will My Investment in UToledo Pay Off?

 

Meet Andrew Kleopfer

Class of 2020, theatre
Transferred from Owens Community College

"I worked hard at Owens, so at UToledo, I was able to earn scholarships when I transferred. My decision came down to cost and opportunity. I could get more for my money at UToledo. The admissions process was extremely easy. I was a little anxious about how my credits would transfer. I wanted to finish my degree in two years. But I was able to transfer 62 of my 66 credits."
