Accepted Fall 2023 Students, Start Here
Congratulations on your acceptance to Lasell University! To receive your Lasell University Award, estimated financial aid offer, or confirmed financial aid offer – please select one of the options below.
Accepted students who submit a FAFSA will receive their confirmed financial aid offer within 2 weeks. You also have the option to complete a brief pre-FAFSA questionnaire to receive an estimated financial aid offer. If you do not intend to complete a FAFSA, please let us know within the pre-FAFSA questionnaire so that you can receive your Lasell University Award.
If you have filled your FAFSA application you DO NOT need to complete the Pre-FAFSA Questionnaire.
Complete the FAFSA for a Confirmed Financial Aid Offer
By completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), you will be automatically considered for all forms of need-based financial aid offered by Lasell and the federal and state government. Lasell University FASFA Code: 002158.
The FAFSA may be filed anytime after October 1st but should be received by Lasell no later than March 1st for priority consideration.

Pre-FAFSA Questionnaire for Estimated Financial Aid Offer
The Pre-FAFSA Questionnaire only provides an estimated financial aid offer. Students are required to file a FAFSA prior to enrolling if filing for financial aid. You will need your Lasell University Application portal log in information to complete the Pre-FAFSA Questionnaire along with 2021 federal tax information.
Students who do not intend on filing a FAFSA should complete the Pre-FAFSA questionnaire to be reviewed for Lasell University Awards.

The Net Price Calculator provides an estimated financial aid offer. Students are required to file a FAFSA prior to enrolling if filing for financial aid.
