How do I apply for financial aid?

Applying for Financial Aid

Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is available each year on October 1.

The FAFSA submission deadline is usually March 1 in order to be considered an on-time applicant for financial aid. **The 2024-2025 priority deadline has been removed due to the delayed FAFSA launch.

FAFSAs received by the federal processor after that date will be considered for Direct Student Loans and Pell Grants only.
