UW-River Falls - School Code 003923Financial Aid is given on an annual basis. A student must reapply each year. After the student files the Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA ) during the first year a 'Renewal FAFSA' is produced for each subsequent year. This 'Renewal FAFSA' asks the student to update various parts of the application; however, data elements that don't change, such as social security number, date of birth are pre-printed and do not need to be completed again. The renewal application significantly reduces the amount of time required to complete the process. Applying for Financial Assistance is a free process. However, like scholarship searches financial consultants and offers to attend seminars realted to applying for financial assistance can be misleading.
