The Auburn University Office of Student Financial Aid provides guidance to students who need financial aid in order to attend the University. The University believes that the amount of aid granted should be based on financial need. Pharmacy students seeking assistance are required to file an application for Federal Student Financial Aid annually. To request a Financial Aid Packet, please contact:
 

Auburn University Office of Student Financial Aid 203 Mary Martin Hall Auburn University, AL 36849 (334) 844-4367 www.auburn.edu/student_info/student_affairs/finaid

If you wish to be considered for financial need, you must complete a FAFSA "Free Application for Federal Student Aid" and file it with the Auburn University Office of Financial Aid. Be sure to indicate on any forms that your student classification is "professional" student, NOT "undergraduate" student. Applications for aid should be completed in January or February of the year prior to the academic year in which the student will need assistance. Please note that this form may be completed and filed on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov . To review other loan and scholarship resources available, please contact the Auburn Student Financial Aid Office or the Auburn Scholarship Office.
