FINANCIAL AID APPLICATION PROCESS
Read below to learn the steps of the financial aid process and click on the brief video to hear about the process from a current student.
- First, apply for a pin number: http://www.pin.ed.gov
You, as well as one parent, will need to apply for a pin number. The pin number is used to electronically sign the FAFSA.
- Next, complete the FAFSA, which is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid: www.fafsa.ed.gov
Make sure to indicate Our Lady of the Lake by including our school code: 003598. The FAFSA application is available online beginning January 1st. It is very important to apply early. You must reapply for financial aid each academic year, which includes Fall/Spring/Summer.

We may request additional documents once we receive your application. Please be sure to complete and submit all documents requested to our office in a timely manner.
Lastly, once your application is complete with us, we will review your eligibility for aid. At that time we will notify you via email of your award.
