How to Apply

Each year, aid applicants must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This application should be submitted to the federal processor online at https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa. For the 2021-2022 year, the FAFSA became available on October 1, 2020. For the 2022-2023 year, the FAFSA becomes available on October 1, 2021. Students applying for admission for the Spring 2022 Semester should complete both applications. Financial Aid Administrators are available to help students with the application process. The student’s financial aid package cannot be finalized until the Financial Aid Department has received all requested documentation. Renewal of financial aid is not automatic. Recipients are required to reapply each year by the announced deadline.

It is recommended that students, spouses, and/or parents use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, which can make the application process easier, faster, and more accurate, facilitating earlier notification of awards.

Additional information about the FAFSA is available here.
