New and Current Students

As a newly accepted or current student, individual application items are available on the student financial aid portal, Net Partner. Newly accepted students will receive email communication from the Office of Student Financial Aid regarding Net Partner access after acceptance beginning in January.

It is important to begin the application process by completing the 2024-2025 Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on-line, which becomes available October 1. The FAFSA is a Department of Education form required for all University’s to determine a student’s eligibility for Federal aid. If you are completing a renewal FAFSA and have forgotten your FSA ID please click here.

Step One: Login to netpartnerstudent.wustl.edu  (use your Email as “student ID” )  This can be found on your “Welcome email” if newly accepted. Then select “First Time User”.

***Continuing students will use your assigned Washington university email address as “student ID” for login purposes.  Simply login using a previously established PIN.

Step Two: Select “My Documents” screen for a personalized list of all required items. NOTE: Some items may change based on selections of aid you accept and/or decline. Check this screen often for updates.

As all of your required documents are submitted and reviewed, our office will create a financial aid award package. You will be notified via email to view/accept/decline your aid on the student portal Net Partner under the ‘View/Accept/Decline’ screen.

The priority processing deadline is May 1, 2024. This will allow us the opportunity to provide students with a comprehensive financial aid package prior to the beginning of the program start date.

Please note: additional forms and/or loan promissory notes may be necessary depending on the aid a student chooses to accept. Those forms will populate as “Not Received” under the “My Documents”  screen on Net Partner.  If you decline aid, those items will be waived, but will not always be automatic. It is advised to check for updates frequently during the initial processing time frame, and prior to the start of the term.
