Application Process
U.S. citizens and permanent residents applying for admission to the Mandel School are encouraged
to apply for financial aid at the same time. All financial aid applicants must:
- Complete the
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Mandel
Federal School Code is
E00084;
- Complete the on-line Case Financial Aid Application and submit it to the Office of
University Financial Aid. User ID and password will be mailed to new students. Current students
will use their CaseNet ID and password to access the briefCase system.
- Submit (if applicable) a signed copy of the previous year's federal tax returns, W-2's and all
schedules to the Office of University Financial Aid.
The results of the FAFSA are used to determine the eligibility for all "need-based" forms of
financial aid, including scholarships, federal work-study and student loans.
Scholarships that are based on merit and financial need are awarded on a first-come,
first-served basis until funds are exhausted. Priority consideration is given to students who apply
by April 30.
Notification of Eligibility
All students who apply for financial assistance and are accepted into the masters program will
receive:
- A scholarship letter. This letter lists the type and the amount, as well as the terms and
conditions, of the award. Students are required to accept or decline the aid offered.
- An estimated award letter (which is based on the results of the FAFSA) from the Mandel School
Financial Aid Office. This letter lists the type and the amount of any Mandel scholarships,
paid field placement, and the federal student loans for which you qualify.
- An "official" award letter from the Office of University Financial Aid will be available on
briefCase (http://finaid.case.edu/CWRUfas.aspx) and may be downloaded, completed, signed,
and returned to the Office of University Financial Aid. You also have the option of
accepting the award offer on-line. It is essential that the Office of University
Financial Aid be notified of your intention to accept or reject an offer of financial assistance
within two weeks after receipt of your financial aid award.
Financial aid is awarded for one academic year. A new Free Application for Federal Student Aid
and a CASE Financial Aid Application must be completed each academic year.
