How to Apply for Financial Aid
The first step in determining your eligibility for specific financial aid programs is to complete the FAFSA, or the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. If you need help along the way, your financial aid representative will be available to answer questions or provide guidance.
After you’ve submitted the FAFSA and other necessary forms, you’ll soon receive an award letter, which contains the financial aid options, including grant and loan amounts, available to those who qualify. After discussing these possibilities with your family and financial aid representative, you can decide what to accept.
