HOW DO I APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID?

The first step to receiving financial aid is to fill out the Federal Application for Financial Student Aid (FAFSA).

Visit www.fafsa.ed.gov.for more information. For seniors, the FAFSA will be available after October 1 of their senior year. Make sure you select the application for the year you'll be entering college.

Applying for Financial Aid is free.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE FAFSA IS COMPLETED?

The FAFSA information is electronically sent to any other colleges you choose by the processing center. After you have been admitted to your college of choice, your application is reviewed by a financial aid advisor. You will be considered for all financial aid, including institutional grants, federal and state grants, as well as academic scholarships based on work in progress.
