Statement of Understanding

We understand that completing the Carnegie Mellon Financial Aid Estimate Form does not constitute a financial commitment on behalf of Carnegie Mellon.

We also understand that completing the Carnegie Mellon Financial Aid Estimate Form does not constitute an application for admission or imply an offer of admission by Carnegie Mellon.

We realize that we must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by February 15, 2009 and submit the Carnegie Mellon Financial Aid Application, copies of parents' and student's 2008 Federal Tax Returns and parents' W-2 forms to Carnegie Mellon. The February 15 deadline for the FAFSA is requested so that Carnegie Mellon can give us a reply by April 15, 2009.
