Applying for Financial Aid

To be eligible for need based and some non-need based financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is available in the Office of Financial Aid or can be completed on the WEB at www.fafsa.ed.gov.



Students must comply with all requests for documentation from the Office of Financial Aid.

Priority deadline date for filing for financial aid is April 15th each year.

Students need to file the FAFSA by April 15th each year to be considered for the maximum amount of money, as funds are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Awarding of Financial Aid

Once a student's financial aid application has been received and all requested documentation has been submitted to the Office of Financial Aid, the application will be reviewed and financial aid awarded appropriately.

Federal regulations require that institutional scholarships as well as outside scholarships be taken into consideration when determining need based financial aid before federal or state awards can be made.
