US Federal Loans
Citizens of the United States of America are entitled to apply for financial assistance from the US federal government to pay for education at an eligible postsecondary institution.
There are three categories of federal student aid: full grants, work-study grants, and student loans. American College Dublin participates in the latter of these: the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program (full grants, or ‘Pell grants’, are only available to institutions located in the USA).
There are 3 steps to the financial aid application process:
1. Create a studentaid.gov account
You can click here to create the account: https://studentaid.gov/fsa-id/create-account/launch.
2. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form
Details on how to submit the form can be found here: https://studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/filling-out
You will need the college code to list us as one of your schools/colleges. The institution code: G40214.
A FAFSA form may be submitted from 1 January of the year of application up to 30 June of the following year (for example, a FAFSA for the 2025-26 academic year may be submitted from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2026). Nevertheless, please note that the application process takes some time and that it is therefore good to start as soon as possible.
3. Review your FAFSA Submission Summary
After submission of the FAFSA form, a FAFSA Submission Summary will be issued. The FAFSA Submission Summary contains the information reported on the FAFSA submission and will normally include the applicant’s Student Aid Index (SAI). The SAI is an index used to determine the applicant’s eligibility for federal student aid. The applicant should review the information on the FAFSA Submission Summary and advise any corrections or changes to FAFSA through the link https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa. Further information can be found here: https://studentaid.gov/apply-for-aid/fafsa/review-and-correct.
4. Email American College Dublin
Once the FAFSA Submission Summary has been received, contact ACD immediately: email the financial aid officer by email through the link ACD financial aid, or call +353-1-676-8939. The financial aid officer will assess eligibility and contact the applicant to advise them on the application’s status. Once eligibility has been established, the financial aid officer will send an award letter indicating the type and amount of aid the College can offer.
Further advice
At any point during the process, please refer to the ACD financial aid officer for questions or general advice, by calling +353-1-676-8939 or emailing ACD financial aid. Alternatively, guidance is available from the federal government by calling the Federal Student Aid Information Center (FSAIC) at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243) or through the website, https://studentaid.gov.
