Current Applicants to the DPT Program During the 2022-23 Application Cycle

When should I fill out the FAFSA for fall 2022?

The 2022–23 FAFSA form will be available on Oct. 1, 2022. You should fill it out as soon as possible on or after Oct. 1 at the official government site.

I anticipate needing financial aid during summer 2022, how do I apply?

Yes, you need to ensure that you have submitted an updated FAFSA application for funding during summer 2022 that reflects that you will be a graduate student at UNLV. You can do this through your current FAFSA.

You also need to complete a Summer 2021 Financial Aid Application.

Will you receive financial aid as an undergraduate student during academic year 2022-23?

If no, and you have already completed a 2022-2023 FAFSA that indicated that you plan to attend UNLV as a graduate student during the 2022-23 academic year, you should complete and submit a Summer 2023 Financial Aid Application.

I have already competed my 2022-23 FAFSA and indicated I will attend UNLV as a graduate student, how will I know what I qualified for?

Once your FAFSA file is processed by the UNLV office of financial aid and scholarships, you will be able to view your anticipated award package on your MyUNLV account. Accepted students are encouraged to check their MyUNLV account often throughout the spring 2023 semester and to accept their award packages early.

What do I do when I receive my award package?

If this is your first loan with UNLV, you need to complete the Financial Aid Process as outlined.

When do my loans disburse?
  • Unsubsidized Federal Loans – Log in to your MyUNLV student center account, go to the Accept/Decline awards section and accept the award.
  • Graduate Plus Loan – Find info regarding graduate loans on the Federal Loans for Graduate Students
    page    .
  • Unsubsidized Federal Loan – This loan disburses 10 days before the beginning of the semester to your student account. You should receive any refunds during the first week of school.
  • Graduate Plus Loan – Since this loan is based on credit, disbursement depends on when you applied for the Graduate Plus Loan, and when the Financial Aid Office received approval from Department of Education.

Has your residency or living situation changed?

Residency changes such as your living situation (on-campus, with a parent, or off-campus) as well as how you are classified for tuition purposes (in-state or out-of-state) must be reported.

  • If no, your award package will likely remain the same throughout the 2022-23 Academic Year.
  • If yes, update your FAFSA application online to reflect your new living situation and notify the UNLV Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships
    • Example 1: You are residency status has changed from in-state to out-of-state for tuition purposes.
    • Example 2: You previously listed "living with a parent" on FAFSA, but now have your own house/apartment.

Note: These changes can affect the amount of financial aid you qualify for.

**You are responsible for updating the office of financial aid & scholarships of such changes in your status.
