UHV 2023-2024 Financial Aid Estimator
The Financial Aid Estimator allows you to obtain an estimate of your annual (fall and spring) financial aid awards. The awards are only an estimate which is based on the assumption that the information you provide is accurate. The financial aid awards cannot exceed your cost of attendance.
If you already have your Student Aid Report (results from your FAFSA), it may only take about 3 minutes to calculate your estimated financial aid awards. If you have not completed the FAFSA yet, it is helpful to have a copy of your most recent tax return and W-2s available in order to complete the Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) question. If you have to compute the EFC, the process to estimate your financial aid awards may take approximately 12 minutes.
Student's Current Education Level
Students who are working on their first or subsequent baccalaureate degree should select "Undergraduate" student.
Only select "Graduate" if you have already completed (or are nearing completion of) a baccalaureate degree and have applied for entry into a graduate program.
