Early Read Financial Aid Application

The Lycoming College Early Decision Financial Aid Application is designed to collect enough information regarding your family’s financial situation to estimate the results of your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and prepare your estimated financial aid award which includes grants, scholarships, loans and work-study assistance for which you qualify from Lycoming, the Federal government and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This will allow us to estimate your annual costs to attend and work with you to make your enrollment affordable.

As you complete the application, please note the following:This form does not replace the FAFSA form, which must also be submitted after October 1.

This application is only required for Early Decision applicants and is intended for first-time, full-time freshmen who are dependent on their parents. If you believe you qualify to file the FAFSA as an independent student and are unable to provide parental information, please contact the financial aid office directly at 800-345-3920 or finaid@lycoming.edu.
You will need to answer some basic questions about your parents’ and your financial situation using actual 2021 tax returns to guide your estimates.
