Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.gov. Pepperdine University's school code is 001264. We recommend you to submit FAFSA as soon as possible if you plan to use financial aid to pay for your education. For an easy step-by-step guide on how to complete the FAFSA, click here.

Once you are awarded any financial aid, you will receive an email notification. You must log into WaveNet to review your award and accept/decline your aid.  You will start to see your upcoming year's financial aid award starting June.

Step 4. Complete "To Do List" Items as Shown on WaveNet

Check "To Do List" to make sure that you do not have any incomplete items with Financial Aid Office as we may require additional information in regards to your FAFSA.
