Step 1) Direct Student Loans

The CRCDS Financial Aid Office administers aid programs that require that the student demonstrate financial need for assistance beyond whatever financial contribution can be reasonably expected from the student and his/her spouse (if applicable). Your eligibility for these aid programs is based on the difference between the estimated costs of attendance and what you can reasonably be expected to contribute towards meeting the cost of attendance (Expected Family Contribution or EFC). To determine your EFC all students are required to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The application may be filed electronically at www.studentloans.gov or you may obtain a hard copy of the FAFSA from the Director of Financial Aid. When completing the FAFSA you will need to enter federal school code of G02700 for Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School so the school will be able to put a Financial Aid Package together for you. If you have not filed a FASA before you will need to obtain a PIN from www.studentloans.gov.

The maximum William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan for graduate school is:

Subsidized Loan (FSL) $8,500.
Unsubsidized Loan (FUSL) $12,000.


The Subsidized Loan (FSL) is borrowed first, and if there is still financial need, the Unsubsidized Loan (FUSL) is used. The Expected Family Contribution can be covered by the Unsubsidized Loan.

Every student who completes a FAFSA receives a Student Aid Report (SAR) from the federal processor. If G02700 (Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School Federal school code) is listed on your SAR, we will receive the same information electronically. Please review your SAR for accuracy. If you find that you need to make corrections, follow the instructions and return it to the processor. If you send corrections to the processor, you will receive a revised SAR. These same corrections will also be sent electronically to the Financial Aid Office.

If it is your desire to request a student loan and do not apply for The Divinity School Grant, go to the downloadable forms page and submit a request to the Financial Aid Office.
