Financial Aid
NOW is the time to be completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This information is based on the student and parents' most recent annual Tax Return information, and is used to determine financial aid monies for college. For students entering college in the fall semester, the priority deadline to complete the FAFSA is mid March. However, the FAFSA may be completed at any point and time. On January 1st, the new FAFSA form is loaded for the following college school year. Your goal needs to be to complete this as soon as possible, to have the best opportunity to receive assistance.
Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov or meet with the College Financial Aid Office of your choice.
