Financial Aid
The mission of the Office of Financial Aid at Barry University is to provide service to students who need financial assistance in order to enroll, or to continue at the University, in the form of financial aid and financial planning for their education. The commitment of Barry University to providing financial assistance to its students is generous, personal, and ongoing. The Office of Financial Aid fulfills this commitment by following established procedures and practices, which ensure the equitable and consistent treatment of all financial aid applicants.
The programs are administered in accordance with nationally established philosophies of financial aid for post-secondary education. The basis of these philosophies is the belief that the student/family is the primary resource for meeting educational expenses and financial aid is available for bridging the gap between those resources and college costs. The total cost of attending college will include not only tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, but personal and travel expenses as well.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the document used by Barry University to collect confidential information from parents and students for the purpose of determining a student’s need for financial aid. Students complete this form online at www.studentaid.gov and entering Barry’s Federal School Code of 001466. This information is processed by the FAFSA Central Processing System, and the results are sent to Barry at the request of the student.
PRIORITY DATE: March 30. Barry University does not have a financial aid deadline. However, some financial aid programs have limited funding, so we encourage you to provide us with a complete and accurate financial aid application (FAFSA results) by our priority date. This ensures that you will have the maximum financial aid opportunities. All applications received after that date will be processed and funds awarded until they are exhausted.
