Policy Update

As a result of new guidelines received from the U.S. Department of Education’s Privacy Technical Assistance Center, the Office of Student Financial Aid Services (OSFAS) has implemented a policy change.

In the past we were able to complete third party scholarship forms, with your permission, and submit the completed form to the agency. We will still be able to complete the form, but we will no longer have the authorization to submit the completed form directly to third-party scholarship agencies on your behalf. We will provide you with the completed information for you to forward to the appropriate third party.

Depending on the type of financial aid you may be seeking, this may not apply to you. Please visit https://financialaid.uconn.edu/external/ for more information about this policy change.
