Langston University

Prior to the start of the Fall and Spring semesters, students are required to accept their financial aid, complete all financial aid requirements, and pay their balance in full or set up a payment plan.

Langston University offers three payment options. Students must complete one of these three payment options by the first day of class for each semester.

• Have enough financial aid posted and accepted to cover billed charges
• Make payment in full of any outstanding balance after aid is applied
• Enroll in a payment plan for any outstanding balance after aid is applied

Accepting Financial Aid Awards
Prior to any offer of financial aid awards, students must first successfully complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.studentaid.gov and include Langston University’s school code (003157).

After the FAFSA has been submitted online:

1. The student will receive a Student Aid Index with results of the government’s calculation. Please read the Student Aid Index to be sure that no corrections are necessary.
2. If the Student Aid Index states that the student has been “selected for a process called verification” or notified by the Langston University Division of Financial Aid, the student’s family is required to submit certain documents through Proverifier. Notice of what documents are needed will be emailed to the student after Langston University receives data from the federal processor.
3. Langston’s Division of Financial Aid will send the student a notification indicating any other documentation needed to complete the file.
4. When Langston University has received all documents needed and the student’s file is complete, the LU Division of Financial Aid will review the data given for accuracy. After the review, notification will be sent to the student stating that they have been awarded. Completing applications incorrectly and/or omitting information on the application causes processing delays.
5. The student must be admitted to Langston University in a degree-seeking program before aid eligibility may be determined.
6. Grant and scholarship money is awarded depending on the student’s financial aid preference and aid eligibility.
7. Aid is typically made available 10 days after classes begin for the Fall and Spring semesters. Federal regulations prohibit disbursing aid earlier.

Students can use the aid they receive to cover any educationally related expenses. Some aid specifies what it can be used for, but most other assistance may be used for any educational expenses after direct charges due to Langston University are paid. Educational costs include tuition, fees, room, board, books, transportation (including automotive upkeep but not purchase), and other personal expenses.
