Deadlines

A student’s eligibility for financial aid is determined from information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is often referred to as the need analysis document. A need analysis is a systematic method of measuring the ability of the student  to pay for educational costs, and student’s eligibility to receive funds from federal, state, institutional, and/or other need-based financial aid programs.

Students making initial application for aid from federal or state sources, as well as students seeking renewal of financial aid from these sources, must submit completed applications by the priority deadlines below to ensure funding notification prior to the anticipated enrollment period. To be complete, an application must include accurate data and all supporting documentation, including all required materials if the application is selected for verification by the U.S. Department of Education.
