- File your 2009-2010 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the Summer 2009, Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 semesters.

You can fill out the paper FAFSA application (available in our Student Services Center near the vending machines in our main lobby area), or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov for faster processing. Please note that the FAFSA is submitted directly to the federal government. Please use our LIU Brookville school code: 002751.
- If you have already submitted the FAFSA and we haven't received it, please go to www.fafsa.ed.gov, look at FAFSA Follow-up 3, then add the LIU Brookville school code #002751 and submit it online.
- If you are a new student or a returning student, please submit all of your documents to our Admissions Office so that you can become accepted. Note: your scholarship and/or financial assistance will not be awarded until you have been accepted to the University.
- If you are applying for a scholarship award which requires a separate application, please contact the Admissions Office to make arrangements to complete the application and provide the supporting documentation.
