Viewing Your Financial Aid Award Letter
Once you have completed your FAFSA (and have verified your information, if requested), you will receive a Financial Aid Award Letter in the mail listing the financial aid you are eligible to receive at UW-River Falls.
- Go to Types of Aid to get detailed information on each award listed. In general, grants are gift-aid that do not need to be repaid and are accepted on your behalf, while Work Study and loans are self-help aid which you need to accept if you decide you want these awards.
- Your aid package is likely to include a loan. If it does, carefully consider the amount of loan you wish to accept. You can accept less than the amount listed, or you can decline the loan entirely if you can finance your education without it.
- Carefully review the information enclosed with your Award Letter (Understanding Your Award Letter enclosure) or the online version of the enclosure: Application Process, and complete the required actions in order to receive your awards.
