Office of Student Financial Aid

All students are eligible for government student loans (amounts based on the year in school) by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. The application opens October 1 of each year and students apply at that time for the following school year.

The FAFSA also determines whether you are eligible for need-based funds such as grants and work-study. In-state students should apply as soon as the application is available since some in-state grants are limited in funding. 

Submit FAFSA
