U.S. citizen and permanent resident instructions
Merit scholarships are awarded at the time of admission. Need-based scholarships, federal work study, federal and state grants are awarded after the FAFSA form is filed. Additionally, US citizens and permanent residents are eligible to borrow funds from the Federal Direct Loans after the FAFSA form is filed. Private education loan programs are available for all students, including international citizens. For more information on the different loan options available to students, please review the Loans section of this website.
Note: When completing your FAFSA, use school code 002798 for Pratt Institute.
The FAFSA should be completed by Pratt’s MARCH 1 deadline in order to ensure that you receive your package in time to make a decision. It is available starting in December each year. Do not wait until you have your taxes filed to apply. Complete the FAFSA using estimates and then correct it after you have submitted your taxes using the assigned PIN. FAFSA opens in December and students will be packaged after they submit their documentation.
