What You Need to Know about the FAFSA at University of Florida College of Dentistry
Please read this information carefully as it pertains to the FAFSA process at the University of Florida College of Dentistry (UFCD) for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Important Dates
The 2024-2025 FAFSA is open by December 31, 2023. The FAFSA is to be completed at https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. Please click here for a Federal Student Aid infographic that explains the FAFSA process.
Timing on completing a FAFSA is a factor for certain awards, so we strongly recommend you complete your FAFSA as promptly as possible.
How to Get Your FAFSA to UF
Your FAFSA will be sent to all schools that you list on your FAFSA. You can list up to 10 schools on the FAFSA. Please be sure to include University of Florida (UF) in your list of schools so that we will receive your information.
UF’s school code is 001535. This code is applicable to all colleges at UF, including UFCD.
UFCD Scholarships
Parent financial information is required to be on your Scholarship Application for consideration. Detailed information on the reason for this requirement is available on our Scholarships FAQ website.
Health Professions Loans & Loans for Disadvantaged Students
These subsidized loan programs require parent financial information. The only exception to this requirement is if both parents are deceased. The regulations for these loans do not allow for any other extenuating or special circumstances.
Important Note about Parent Financial Information
Due to the FAFSA application process changes, students can no longer report parental tax information on their FAFSA application. Students are required to upload a copy of their parents’ tax return to the UFCD Scholarship Application. If the parent is married, the student will provide a copy of their parent’s joint tax return. If the parents are single, the student will provide a copy of both parents’ tax returns.
Please note: If your parents reside in a foreign country and/or do not file taxes, those circumstances alone do not exempt you from the parental information requirement. See below for tips to help you input parent information for residents of foreign countries and non-filers.
