The FAFSA and Walsh Supplemental App Now Available for ALL Students Attending Summer, Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 |
Due to significant changes by the Federal Government to the application and the rebuild of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) processing system, the 2024-2025 FAFSA was delayed until Dec. 31, 2023. To review the key changes, click here. Access the FAFSA application here.
Before completing the FAFSA, please complete these steps:
Complete the 2024-2025 Walsh Supplemental Application (PDF).
All returning students will need to complete this form. This is an internal form used to verify enrollment intentions, sport and activity involvement, outside financial contributions, and other factors that contribute to a student’s institutional aid eligibility. If you are not planning to pursue federal or state financial aid, this form has a space to mark that you are not filing a FAFSA. Completed financial aid forms can be uploaded to our secure portal located here.
Go to studentaid.gov and make sure all contributors to your FAFSA have an FSA ID created.
An FSA ID is an account and password that gives you access to the Federal Student Aid’s online system and serves as your electronic signature. If you already have an FSA ID, there is no need to create a new one – your existing FSA ID will continue to work. A list of who will be considered a contributor can be found on the FAFSA Changes for 2024-2025 webpage linked here.

Walsh’s World Music Ensemble recently performed for the North Canton Library’s Senior Group at the Civic Center. Directed by Music professor, Tom Roblee, this talented group of students shared traditional music from various regions of Africa and instructed the group about the rich customs and history. We appreciate Professor Roblee and our students for taking the time to put a smile on their faces! This performance was part of Walsh University’s partnership with the North Canton Library. Walsh facilitates programs for the library’s senior group once per month on Tuesdays or Thursdays. If you have an idea for a program to engage with local seniors, please contact Hannah Monske or Bridget England. They love connecting with our Walsh community and students!
