Students are encouraged to apply for financial aid early, as many awards are available on a first come - first served basis. Remember to include your full name and other personal information (for example, your social security number) on your admissions application to ensure we can match your financial aid application to you.
If you already submitted a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or Dream Application, you will need to:
- Log into your application
- Add the school code (001154) for San Francisco State University
- Submit your application.
After you submit the updates to your FAFSA/Dream Application our school will receive your financial aid application information within 3-5 business days. An award letter will be emailed to you after we receive your FAFSA/Dream Application within 5-7 business days.
For more information, visit the SF State Financial Aid website.
As a redirect student, another California State University had already determined you were CSU-eligible. To ensure that we do not add any additional pressure onto your already stressful admissions process, SF State will conditionally admit you to our University upon the redirection of your application. Once your application is redirected to us, you should receive an admission notice within 2 weeks. Review the conditions of admissions for freshmen and transfer students which are evaluated upon receipt of your final transcripts.
