There are many financial options to help you afford your education. Our Office of Financial Assistance will help you step-by-step through the FAFSA and the entire financial aid process to explore all options in order to maximize your financial aid.

FAFSA
The financial aid process starts by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Our primary goal is to ensure that students don't miss benefits for which they're eligible. Filing your FAFSA early assists us in ensuring that you take advantage of all your financial options.
*The 2024-25 FAFSA Application is now open. Please see the FAFSA INFO link below for more information.
