Financial Aid

FINANCIAL AID 

You can start applying for FAFSA on October 1, 2022. You should apply as soon as you can to make sure your financial aid award is posted before the first tuition payment is due to your college/university. 

There are 3 ways to apply

  1. Recommended: Apply online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov

  2. Go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/options.htm and download a PDF version of the FAFSA to complete and mail or fax for processing.

  3. Call 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243) and request a paper application.

Please note that many four-year private institutions have resources in addition to federal and state aid. When comparing financial-aid packages, you should consider the amount of grants, academic scholarships, loans, and work-study awards you are offered from each school. Don’t hesitate to call the Financial Aid Office of the college/university you are planning to attend with questions. Also, check out the college/university website in which you are applying/attending for more FAFSA information.
