Financial Aid Resources

FAFSA Application Process 

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) becomes available each year on October 1. Students are strongly encouraged to complete the FAFSA as early as possible to maximize eligibility for financial aid. 

Getting Started 

  • Visit studentaid.gov to create your FSA ID 
  • Dependent students must invite a parent or guardian to complete their portion of the application 

Submitting Your FAFSA 

  • Enter our school code: 002953 
  • You will receive a confirmation email from the U.S. Department of Education after submission 
  • Please allow up to two weeks for processing and packaging 

You will be notified via email once your financial aid package is available.

Accessing Your Financial Aid 

  • Activate your Peace email account 
  • Log in to PacerNet to view your financial aid package 

If you need assistance activating your email, please contact your Admission Counselor.

Special Circumstances 

The FAFSA uses tax information from a prior-prior year. If your financial situation has changed and is not accurately reflected, please contact our office to discuss a Professional Judgment review. 

Additional Funding Opportunities

While financial aid can significantly reduce out-of-pocket expenses, it may not cover the full cost of attendance. We encourage students to pursue external scholarships.

  • Access IGrad, a financial literacy platform available to all Peace students using their Peace credentials.
  •  Explore additional external scholarship opportunities by using scholarship search engines, contacting organizations you are involved in, and checking with your or your parents’ employers. If you need guidance on where to look, please contact the Financial Aid Office for resources.
