How to Apply

First you must apply for admission to Chapman University. Once you have been admitted, you can then be awarded aid.

All students applying for financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA must be postmarked by March 2nd to meet Chapman's priority deadline. If you are a new student applying for a Cal Grant, you must also complete the GPA Verification Form and mail it to the California Student Aid Commission postmarked by March 2nd. That's it! Just keep checking your mail and comply with information requests the Financial Aid Office mails you.

For additional information see the appropriate student financial aid information guide below (.pdf format), which contain the full policies and procedures governing financial aid.
