Financial Aid Application Process

To apply for financial aid, applicants and continuing students must start by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA or pre-filled FAFSA). 

Students and applicants are eligible to apply for financial aid to assist with educational expenses. In order to ensure that their financial aid proceeds are available within the first few weeks of school, applicants are encouraged to begin the financial aid application process when you apply for Admission. The Financial Aid Office recommends that applicants not wait for the admissions decision before applying for financial aid. Continuing students are encouraged to meet the priority deadline (1st Friday of March each year).
