UMSL partners with Inceptia for Verification
UMSL has established a partnership with Inceptia to expedite the federal verification process for our students. UMSL students will submit verification documentation through the Inceptia Verification Gateway (VG). Learn more about Inceptia (Verification Gateway).
Online Supplemental Fees
UMSL has been providing a waiver which offset the charge for the online supplemental fees since Summer 2020 using funds provided by HEERF. As HEERF funding is no longer available, this waiver will not be provided beginning in Fall 2022.
All students must apply or reapply for financial aid every year.
Apply for federal student aid for college at no cost using the FAFSA® form.
The 2024-2025 FAFSA will be available December 31, 2023, not October 1, due to changes to the format.

Once you've submitted the FAFSA form your information will be sent to UMSL's financial aid team, where they will review your financial aid eligibility. You will receive email notifications that will confirm your successful FAFSA submission and alert you of any additional tasks that need to be completed. Once all required tasks are complete we will alert you via email that your offer letter is ready to review in MyView (UMSL's student portal). New students will also receive a copy of their offer letter in the mail. After you've reviewed your financial aid offer you will log into MyView to accept and/or decline any institutional scholarships and loans that you'd like to use to help cover your student account balance. If there is a remaining balance after your financial aid has been accepted your first fall due date will be August 10. Learn more about making payments towards your student account balance.
