March 15, 2010 for Fall 2010 Admits
If you plan on coming to Eastern in Spring 2010, the FAFSA deadline is November 15, 2009.
Failure to file the FAFSA by Eastern's deadline date could result in reduced financial aid. It is important to understand that financial aid is not an unlimited resource. There is a limited amount of monies to go around, and schools must establish criteria by which the funds are distributed. The most common criteria are "deadline dates". Simply put, the funds will go to the students who do what they need to do-when they need to do it.
There is no filing fee attached to the FAFSA. The sooner you file the sooner you are likely to hear from us regarding eligibility. We recommend that you file the FAFSA on the web by going HERE or you can file via "hard copy" obtained from the financial aid office.
One of the most common reasons we receive from families as to why they were late is that they were waiting to file their federal tax return and use actual figures. DO NOT hold up the filling of the FAFSA for any reason. You are given the option to "estimate" your figures, and update at a later date. Remember to list Eastern Connecticut State University as a recipient school to receive your information. Our school code to put on the FAFSA is 001425.
Once you have filed your FAFSA, you will receive notification from the processor and our office will also receive your information. We will follow up the requests for additional paperwork from you. Please comply with all requests in a timely fashion. Remember-the sooner you supply the information, the sooner you will receive financial aid notification.
The financial aid office is happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the financial aid process. Please contact them with the information provided below with any questions or concerns you may have and they will promptly reply to you.

Eastern Connecticut State University has teamed with TuitionPay to offer you the TuitionPay Monthly Payment Plan. The plan is interest-free and allows you to spread your tuition and fees over a number of months.
You can enroll in the plan by term or for the year. If you enroll in the payment plan for one term, the enrollment fee is $35 and you will make three payments. If you will be attending Eastern for the Fall and Spring terms, you can enroll in the annual plan. The enrollment fee for the annual plan is $55 and your annual tuition and fees are spread over 10 payments. You are not allowed to spread your tuition and fees for one term over 10 months.
The plan does not cover Summer or Intersession terms. Your TuitionPay Monthly Plan should be established as early as possible for smaller, more manageable monthly payments. If you enroll in the plan after it has started, you must make up the necessary back payments.
For additional information or to enroll in the payment plan, you can contact TuitionPay by calling (800) 635-0120, by email, info@tutitonpay.com or by visiting their www.tuitionpay.com. |
