What to Expect Next

After receiving your FAFSA application, the Office of Financial Aid will begin to process it. About a third of our students are asked to provide additional documentation to complete their application. Once your eligibility is determined, you’ll need to complete a few more steps and you’ll be set. For most students, Walden will disburse your funds late in the third week of class if you’re enrolled at least half time, have posted in the classroom during the first week, and have met all other aid eligibility requirements.
