Office of Student Financial Aid

Submit your FAFSA before April 1 to better your chances of securing the financial aid you need.

Because of significant Department of Education processing delays, we will not have information about FAFSA submissions or financial aid eligibility until at least mid-March. Once FAFSA data is released to us, we are committed to sharing financial aid information as soon as possible.
