Financial Aid

Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA^®) form allows you to be considered for federal student aid. In addition, states and colleges use FAFSA information to award their own grants, scholarships, and loans. But, since aid is limited, you have to meet the deadlines!
