The U.S. Department of Education significantly overhauled the FAFSA form this year making it shorter and simpler for students, but the rollout has caused delays of five to six months. To help alleviate some of the uncertainties, East Stroudsburg University is proactively reaching out to admitted students with financial aid estimates.

Dr. Lorna Hunter, ESU’s vice president for enrollment management said, “We are reaching out to all admitted students via email letting them know that we can provide an estimated financial aid notification letter.” The email includes a link that opens to a short form prepopulated with the student’s name and identification number. Students are required to provide their Student Aid Index (SAI) they were given when they completed the FAFSA.
