We are excited that you are considering Radford University!  We realize that an important factor in making the decision about the right college for you is cost.  Which is exactly why we are here - we hope that you will find the necessary resources to learn more about the financial aid process and how it can help you.  We have created the RU Guide to Applying for Financial Aid (PDF) for you to print and use as a resource during the application process.  Often times people find our Frequently Asked Questions helpful. 

We have broken down the most important financial aid information into 4 sections, from step one of applying through how your financial aid funds are received and processed by the university.

If you are thinking of transferring to Radford from another instituion, we have also designed some special information for you.  Be sure to check out our Transfer Student Information to ensure a smooth transition.

With that said, enjoy this exciting time!  We look forward to the opportunity to work with you during the financial aid application process.  It is our hope that you will find all the necessary information on our site, but if you can't find the information you are looking for please contact our office so we can make sure your questions are answered.

Important Things to Remember:

1.  RU's FAFSA priority filing date is February 15th, but we will still process your FAFSA if it is received after the priority filing date
2.  The Financial Aid Office will send all correspondence to the address submitted on your FAFSA until the start of school.  Once school begins all correspondence will be sent to your radford.edu address.  Make sure to check your email on MyRU!

Financial Aid is Everywhere!
