Financial Aid - Applying For Aid
Federal Aid Process
For those who qualify, federal financial aid grant and loan programs may be an option. Steps for completing the financial aid process:
-
Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you have never completed a FAFSA before, you must first create an FSA ID. To create an FSA ID, visit https://fsaid.ed.gov/npas/index.htm.
-
Complete a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Loan Counseling at www.studentloans.gov.
-
When we receive your completed FAFSA, you may be asked for additional verification documents. (Additional documents may consist of federal tax forms for the prior year, a verification worksheet, W-2s, certain tax schedules, etc.) Verification documents are used to verify the accuracy of the FAFSA.
-
Once your FAFSA, MPN, Entrance Loan Counseling and additional verification documents (if required) are received, you will receive an Official Award Letter.
-
You may accept or decline any or all aid on your Official Award Letter. Please note: You will need to apply for financial aid every year.
