FAFSA
The financial aid process starts by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Our primary goal is to ensure that students don't miss benefits for which they're eligible. Filing your FAFSA early assists us in ensuring that you take advantage of all your financial options.
*The 2024-25 FAFSA Application is now open. Please see the FAFSA INFO link below for more information.
