Hampton University - Office of Financial Aid

Welcome Back! Nothing is more important to a great future than a great education. That’s why the Office of Financial Aid at Hampton University makes it our mission to “put students first” and to work diligently to provide you with the best possible financial package for college. Our counseling staff takes pride in working one-on-one with you and your family throughout your college years.

Hampton University participates in a wide range of federal and state aid programs. With a combination of need-based grants, scholarships, loans and student employment, we work hard to make Hampton University affordable for all admitted students.

About 70 percent of Hampton University students receive some form of financial assistance. To make sure you receive the best possible financial aid award, we ask that you remember the following:

To complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible after January 1.
To apply and submit the FAFSA electronically at www.fafsa.ed.gov. We encourage all of our students to apply by February 15. Our priority filing date is March 1, to meet this priority filing date; we must have a valid expected family contribution (EFC) on file. All financial aid application received after the March 1 deadline, will receive financial aid in the form of loans and if eligible, a Federal Pell Grant.

We never stop thinking of ways to streamline our services to better serve you! This year, our goal is to issue a financial aid award letter to every current student by July 17, 2008. To help us accomplish our goal, please respond promptly to all correspondence and/or telephone call(s) from our office concerning your financial aid status. If you do not receive your award letter by July 18, 2008, please contact us at 1-800-624-3341.

For your convenience, our office hours are Monday – Friday from 9:00am – 5:00pm. Each student that enters Hampton University will be assigned a financial aid counselor. Our experienced counselors are eager to work with you individually to answer your questions about financial aid. We want to make the financial aid process as easy as possible!
