Financial Aid

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
Financial aid includes all types of money, loans, and work-study programs offered to a student to help pay college tuition costs and living expenses.
Before each year of college, apply for federal grants, work-study, and loans with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) form. Your college uses your FAFSA data to determine your federal aid eligibility. Many states and colleges use FAFSA data to award their own aid. After submission, you’ll receive your Student Aid Report.
Students should complete the FAFSA form (see link below) after October 1st of their senior year in high school.
You can create your FSA ID (student & parent) any time before or after October 1st.
