How to Apply for Financial Aid

The University of Guam Financial Aid Office is here to help make the financial aid process as simple as possible. We understand that applying for financial aid can sometimes feel overwhelming, so we’ve broken down the process into these basic steps. You can complete your FAFSA and apply for financial aid using this guide.
