How to Apply and Application Process

To apply for financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.studentaid.gov. The FAFSA should be completed as soon as possible after October 1 for the upcoming academic year, using your/your parent’s prior year’s federal tax information. If you prefer not to complete the application online, you may call the Central Processing Center (1-800-433-3243) and request a paper application.

A Student Aid Report (SAR) will be sent to the student once the FAFSA is submitted and processed. Applicants should review the SAR carefully and make all corrections. If no corrections are necessary, the SAR should be retained and financial aid will be awarded based on this information. The Financial Aid Office will receive the student’s record electronically from the federal processor.
