How to Access Your Financial Aid

Gonzaga's Financial Aid Office uses Zagweb for students to view and manage their financial aid offer. Zagweb is Gonzaga's online portal for students to manage many administrative tasks, such as registering for classes and managing financial aid.  

How You'll Receive and View Your Financial Aid Offer

Gonzaga's financial aid office provides your financial aid offer in several ways, so you can review it in the format that works best for you.

Newly admitted students will receive their financial aid offer both by mail and email.  When your electronic offer is ready, you'll receive an email from SFS@gonzaga.edu, sent to the email address you, the student, used on your admission application.  The email will include a link that takes you to a secure page where you can view your personalized aid offer via a Campus Communicator website.

You can also view and manage your financial aid at any time in Zagweb, Gonzaga's student portal.  Zagweb will always display the most up-to-date information, including any updates or changes to your award.  It is the best place to accept or decline you aid and track any required next steps.  If you notice differences between versions of your offer, please refer to Zagweb as the most current and accurate source.
