Applying For Financial Aid
Financial aid from Piedmont is figured by a two step process (visit Financial Aid for more information):

 
The first step is to determine your documented financial need: the difference between Piedmont’s total cost and what your family can contribute. This need is determined when you fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which can be downloaded at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Piedmont’s Title IV code is 002956. If you have questions about the FAFSA call toll free 1-800-433-3243. The FASFA also determines your eligibility for federal programs (Pell, Stafford Loans, etc.)

 
The second step is for admitted students. Piedmont’s financial aid office computes need by adhering to a standard formula. Determining factors include taxable and nontaxable income, assets, family size, number of dependents in college and unusual circumstances. All students interested in applying for institutional financial aid must complete Piedmont’s Financial Aid Application (see Downloads section below). New and returning students must complete a Financial Aid Application by April 30th to receive full awards. .
