Financial Aid and Scholarship Application Process

Students applying for federal financial aid must:

Be admitted to CSI with a high school diploma or its equivalent and be enrolled in an eligible degree-seeking program.

Fill out the FAFSA application at www.fafsa.gov, making sure to enter CSI’s school code – 001619.

Check for other required documents in Net Partner at www.netpartner.csi.edu. Students use this portal to track their progress in the financial aid application process and accept/reduce/decline their awards. Important: the CSI Financial Aid and Scholarship Office no longer mails hard copy letters or notifications. Students are expected to log in to Net Partner and check their email often.

Submit all required documents and forms to the CSI Financial Aid Office.

Meet all other eligibility requirements (listed at http://www.csi.edu/financialAid/#eligibility).
