How Do I Apply for Financial Aid?
The FAFSA
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine what a family can contribute toward educational expenses per academic year. All incoming students except non-US citizens must complete a FAFSA. To apply for need-based financial aid, you will need to submit a completed FAFSA.
The FAFSA asks for financial information about you and your family, like income and asset information, as well as your academic background. You will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) based on the information you reported in your application. Be sure to check your SAR for errors and let us know if there are any corrections. We will develop a financial aid package for you based on the information in your SAR.

You may obtain an FSA ID that will serve as your legal signature by visiting studentaid.gov.
