Financial Aid Application Process

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) can be accessed online at www.fafsa.gov. From the web site, applicants follow a series of simple steps to apply for financial aid. Applicants may also pick up a paper FAFSA Worksheet in the Financial Aid Office. The worksheet can be completed prior to accessing the web site and applicants may use it as a guide to aid them during the online application process. All students must complete the FAFSA in order to be considered for federal, state, or institutional financial aid that is based on need. Students are encouraged to complete the application process as soon as income taxes and reports are filed or the source of income has been verified. Students will be notified if the Financial Aid Office requires additional information. Students should submit the FAFSA on or before the priority deadline for each semester to ensure completion of the application process. Please refer to our website or contact the Financial Aid Office for priority deadlines. Students completing the FAFSA on the day of registration are not awarded funds until the application process is complete.
