Applying for Aid
Most forms of student aid require the submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA not only determines your eligibility for federal aid, but may also qualify you for state and institutional aid. Certain funds are limited, so applicants are strongly encouraged to apply early. Funds are usually disbursed to your student account no sooner than 10 days prior to the first day of school.
The priority deadline for the fall semester is March 1 and the spring semester deadline is October 1.
If you are preparing to apply for federal financial aid for college, Federal Student Aid provides helpful information and tips on how to get this done on their website fafsa.gov as well as their youtube channel, FederalStudentAid.
