Financial Aid Application Process
Federal Financial Aid Programs:
Students who are enrolled on at least a half time basis (6 hours per semester for undergraduates) in a degree seeking program can apply for federal financial aid funds to help with the cost of their education.
Application Process:
- Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (or "FAFSA"). We encourage students to complete the form online at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov . Our school code is 002016. You must complete the FAFSA every year.This is your initial application for all federal and institutional "need-based" aid programs.
- Review the information on the Department of Education's Student Aid on the Web. Families can also review this information in spanish
- Young men must register with the U.S. Selective Service System on their 18th birthday. Those who fail to register cannot receive federal student aid.
