Any student who would like to be considered for federal financial aid must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The priority deadline for continuing students to submit the FAFSA for the 2022-2023 academic year is February 1, 2022. Even though financial aid awards for 2022-2023 will not be officially sent until the Summer, it is important you submit your FAFSA now to be considered for the maximum amount of the available funds as some funds are limited.
Complete your 2022-2023 FAFSA prior to the Spring Open House and bring confirmation of completion to earn your bonus stamp.
