Princeton offers an online financial aid application, as well as a paper application for students who aren't able to apply online. The Princeton Financial Aid Application is free and easy to use.

Before completing the financial aid application online, you must register for a login account. If you've already registered to apply online for admission, you may use that login for financial aid as well.

Once you register, simply log in to the application and follow the instructions found there. For extra help, you can download the instructions for applying for financial aid, or check out our tips for applying for aid online. If you still have questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office.

If you choose to file the College Scholarship Service PROFILE form and release it for a fee to Princeton, you can use the data you submitted in filling out part of your Princeton application. Please note that the PROFILE isn't required by Princeton and is not accepted on its own; this option is offered simply as a convenience.

Most families complete the online application, which is the most efficient way to apply for financial aid. However we understand a “paper version” of the application to use as a worksheet is a helpful tool, and one is provided in the online application. You can log into the Princeton Financial Aid Application and select “download a worksheet” to print the appropriate form for your family, and use it as a guide for completing the online application.

If you find you are unable to complete the online application, the booklet included in your admission application packet, “Financial Aid Information and Application Instructions,” contains instructions for requesting a paper application. You may also download a PDF of the Undergraduate Financial Aid Information and Application Instructions booklet.
