Financial Aid Forms
| Academic Year Revision Request: This form may be submitted when you have a specific type of additional or unexpected education-related cost that is not originally included in your cost of attendance. This includes: computer costs, transportation, rent/mortgage, child care costs, etc. This form may also be submitted if your class standing has recently changed and they would like to receive additional funding. |
| Cancellation/Reinstatement of Financial Aid: File a Cancellation of Financial Aid form if you not longer want to be considered for any financial aid and would like us to cancel all communication/remove your financial aid application. This form is also applicable if you are transferring to another school. File a Reinstatement of Financial Aid form if you would like to have your aid reinstated after canceling it out through this process or leaving the university. |
| Children of Fallen Heroes Form: If you have had a parent die during qualifying public service, this form allows you to self-identify and document your eligibility for the Children of Fallen Heroes Grant. This form is required because a single national data source of individuals who died in the line of duty while serving as a public service officer does not exist. |
| Consortium Agreement Form: If you plan to concurrently enroll at a host school during any term, use this form to document course work and costs at the host school. Under this agreement, WSU will act as the home school and offer financial aid based on the total hours of enrollment at both schools. |
| Federal & State Grant Decline Form: If you withdrew from WSU for the term or have limited federal or state grant eligibility remaining, you can complete these forms to have our office cancel your grant for the term. This would then allow you to save a term of eligibility. |
| Federal Tax Information Form: This form may be submitted by you to authorize consent for Student Financial Services to disclose federal tax information (FTI) from your FAFSA application to the parties that you identify on the form. |
| Loan Action Request: The Loan Action Request Form is for loan changes you, the student, cannot perform yourself on myWSU such as: Reoffering (reinstating) a loan that was originally declined, accepting more of your loan offer than you initially did, reducing (cancelling) a portion of a loan already delivered, or cancelling a loan for the full amount that was already delivered to you. |
| Needs Analysis Submission Form: Some forms required by Tribal Organizations and scholarship donors must be completed on your behalf by our office. You must complete this needs analysis submission form to begin this process. If you need proof of enrollment, you can download WSU’s Enrollment Verification Form. |
| Notification of Estimated Financial Assistance: If you notified our office of any outside sources of funding that you will receive while attending WSU. Examples include scholarships (university, non-university, and state-funded scholarships), Third-party guarantees, National Guard waivers, WSU Partial Veterans or Veterans Dependent waivers, LEOFF waivers, employer tuition assistance/reimbursement, private education loans, or tribal grants. Report estimated financial resources as soon as possible so that adjustments can be made in your award without delaying the disbursement process or requiring that you repay funds already released to you. |
| One-Time Computer Purchase: You may claim a one-time cost for a computer purchased during your WSU career (a change from undergraduate to graduate would make you eligible for a second claim). |
| Parent PLUS Loan Decline: Use the Parent PLUS Loan Decline form to cancel a Parent PLUS Loan. You may also fill out this form if your parent’s credit decision was denied and you would like the supplemental unsubsidized loan offered. |
| Permission to Release Financial Aid Information to Third Party: You must submit this form to allow Student Financial Services to provide your financial aid information to a private scholarship provider or a tribal agency. This specific written consent is required by the Department of Education. |
| Scholarship Designation Form: To help the Bursar’s Office designate the application of a specific scholarship for you to your student account. If you will be receiving a scholarship from a donor other than WSU or the state of Washington, download this form and supply it to your donor as soon as you are aware of the award. |
| Special Circumstances Appeal: Submit this form only if you or your parents have a unique family situation where the financial information listed on your FAFSA or WASFA does not accurately reflect the current financial situation of your family. Any qualifying situation (with its corresponding documentation) can be considered once for adjustment. We will not adjust for the same situation more than once. Visit our special circumstances page or contact our office for more information on what qualifies as a special circumstance. |
| Voiland College ProPEL Internship Program: This form may be submitted if you are enrolled in the Voiland College ProPEL Internship Program and would like to utilize your financial aid while enrolled in ENGR 488. |
| WSU Record Change Form: Fill out this form if your WSU student record information is incorrect and does not match what is on your financial aid application. (For example, SSN, ITIN, Date of Birth, Full Name.) |
