Federal Financial Aid
FAFSA Information
The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is an essential form that students must complete to apply for financial aid for college, including federal grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. It typically opens in October of your senior year. Be sure to submit your FAFSA early to maximize your financial aid options.
We host a Financial Aid Night each year, where a FAFSA expert reviews any updates to the application process. Additionally, be on the lookout for FAFSA help sessions offered throughout the year in the College Resource Center to assist with completing the form.
