Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid

Financial aid does not transfer from one school to another. In order to ensure that you will have financial aid when you transfer to Ferris State University, please complete the following steps as soon as you determine that you are transferring.

Apply for Transfer Scholarships

	Make sure you have completed an application for admission to Ferris State University and that you are officially admitted to Ferris. After you have completed the application you will receive an official letter documenting admittance. Please click here if you would like to complete the Ferris State University Application for Admission on-line.

	Make sure Ferris has access to your Federal Student Aid Report (SAR). If you did not list Ferris as one of the schools that you were considering when you completed your FAFSA, then you need to call the federal processor at (800) 433-3243 and request that Ferris be added to your SAR. Ferris' Title IV Code is 002260.

	Make sure you complete any additional requirements from Ferris' Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, such as verification, proof of selective service registration, etc. Once your file is complete and you are admitted to Ferris, the financial aid office will send you an award notice offering you the best financial aid package available at the time you apply. Make sure you complete and return the award notice and any additional documentation sent to you by the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid.

	Advise the financial aid office at your old school that you are transferring to Ferris and ask them to cancel your aid at that institution.
