General Form Information

If you are applying for financial aid, do not complete any of these forms until you first review the application procedures in the Apply for Aid section of this website AND begin Step 1 by submitting our main online institutional financial aid form on "MyHLS Financial Aid" (see "Login to MyHLS Financial Aid" button below the lower right navigation bar). 

• Below you will find a comprehensive list of all of our application and transaction forms. You will generally not need to submit all of these forms. You should refer to the "Documents" tab of "MyHLS Financial Aid" after submitting the main application for a customized list of documents you must submit to complete your application for aid.
• You should also review the Document Descriptions section of our web site for detailed information about all of the documents below, why they are required, and helpful hints on completing them successfully. 

SFS is a Paperless Office

 HLS Student Financial Services is a paperless office. We do not maintain student financial aid records in hard copy format. All "paper" documents, including all required Federal tax data, will be imaged, stored and managed electronically. It is extremely important that you carefully read through the information found on our Document Submission & Imaging web page before you begin to submit any of your required tax documentation to HLS Student Financial Services. For your convenience here is a summary of the two most efficient and secure ways to submit your "paper" document's to us.

1. Upload your data directly into our system using our Secure File Upload service. (Will only accept PDF formats)
2. If you are unable to use the Secure File Upload service, send us your documents via Fax being careful to complete a Document Fax Cover Sheet to go with the documents.
