If you lived the same amount of time with each divorced parent, give answers about the parent who provided more financial support during the past 12 months or during the most recent 12 months that you actually received support from a parent.

Applying for Aid
Applying for financial aid may seem scary, but our goal is to provide you with as much information as possible to ensure the process is smooth and easy. We understand that funding your education is a significant financial investment for you and your family.
Steps to Apply
Step 1: Apply to Wiley University
Step 2: Complete the FAFSA each Year
You must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for each academic year you would like to receive aid. To increase your chances of being considered for programs with limited funds, complete the FAFSA as soon after October 1 as possible. Wiley’s financial aid process begins with the fall semester.
Don’t forget to send your FAFSA information to Wiley University by using this code 003669. If the information provided is accurate, it could take up to 7 days before Wiley University receives your financial information.
Step 3: Complete Verification
If you are selected for verification, you will be notified on your SAR and by Wiley University. You will need to verify your financial aid application by providing additional documentation. All requested verification documents must be completed before being awarded a financial aid package. After all, required documents are received, the verification process could take 5-7 days or in the order in which documents are received from students.
The FAFSA is processed by the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and generates a Student Aid Report (SAR) that is sent directly to you. CPU randomly selects those students who will be selected for verification. The following are some helpful hints to ensure you have a valid SAR.
Review the SAR for accuracy
If corrections are needed, visit the FAFSA website and select “make corrections to a processed FAFSA”
If you do not receive an email directing you to your SAR within four weeks of completing your FAFSA, contact the CPS at (800) 433-3243 to check the status of your application
Additionally, Wiley University may need additional information from you to validate your financial aid application. If additional information is requested, you will receive an email to the email address provided on your FAFSA from the Office of Financial Aid. The email will indicate the items needed to complete your financial aid package. You can find all verification documents as well as the institution’s Verification Policy on the Wiley website.
