For students and families
Three steps before you sign a lease
Start with Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA), then compare your confirmed aid and payment dates with the full cost of off-campus living.
1. Check off-campus eligibility
Ask SFA Residence Life whether you need a permit for the term you plan to move in. If you need one, confirm approval before signing a lease.

Submit the FAFSA for the academic year you’ll attend. Ask SFA Financial Aid about Federal Pell, TEXAS, and Lumberjack grants. Check scholarship deadlines separately.
