Need Based Aid
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the only form required to apply for financial aid.
Apply on line by visiting the following web page:http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
Our Federal Title IV Code is 003733
Register for the PIN at www.pin.ed.govto sign your FAFSA online
Both the student and at least one parent must have a PIN and sign the FAFSA
The paper form is usually available by December 1 in your high school guidance office. There is no cost for submitting this form either online or by paper. It must not be submitted earlier than January 1. Based on the information you supply, the FAFSA will determine your Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
Once we have the results of your FAFSA, a financial aid package can be prepared and offered. Financial aid award letters are mailed in late March for entering students and in mid June for returning students. FAFSA results (requests for financial aid) received after the deadlines (March 1 - entering students; May 1 - returning students) will be handled on a funds-available basis.
If your application for financial aid is selected by the Federal Processor for verification, you will need to submit a signed copy of your parents' and your own federal income tax returns to the Financial Aid Office. Please do not submit these forms unless they are requested.
