Application Process

Manhattanville College requires that students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid  (FAFSA) in order to be considered for funds from all available sources.

For students considering attendance in the Fall semester, a FAFSA should be filed by March 1st preceding their start date in order to be considered for funding from all sources. Some funding is awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The FAFSA is available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Manhattanville College’s federal college code number is 002760

In order to complete the application process, prospective students must apply for a Personal Identification Number (PIN) at the US Department of Education PIN Website. The PIN serves as the student's electronic signature for various types of financial aid related documents.

  • Be U.S. Citizens or permanent resident aliens;
  • Be formally accepted as degree candidates;
  • Maintain satisfactory academic progress;
