- Complete the "Free Application for Federal Student Aid"
(FAFSA). The priority filing date is March 1. Awards made on
FAFSAs submitted after March 1 will be subject to available
funds. Filing the FAFSA electronically at www.fafsa.ed.gov is
the preferred method. The electronic FAFSA is faster and apt
to be more accurate since handwritten answers are not always
legible.
- First time students must apply for admission to the University.
Students who are returning after being out of school for a semester
should be re-admitted.
- If you wish to apply for scholarships complete a "General
Scholarship Application" by the February 1 deadline. This
form can be located online.
- Read and respond to all correspondence from the Financial Aid
Office. Approximately 30% of students are selected for a verification/audit
process that requires them to send additional documents. An
award cannot be made until these documents are received and
reviewed.
- After your financial aid file is complete and reviewed you
will receive an Award Letter which will list the aid you are
eligible to receive.
- Respond to your award offer within 30 days to avoid cancellation.
- If this is your first time accepting a Stafford loan, or if
you have changed lenders or guarantors, you will need to sign
a master promissory note online before the loan(s) will be guaranteed.
- Each year you accept a loan
you are required to complete on-line
loan counseling.
- Most grants, waivers, scholarships, and loans are applied to
your University student account with the Business Office at
fee payment time after you have accepted your charges. Funds
that exceed your charges will be mailed directly to you.
