FAFSA
To be considered for need-based financial aid and scholarships, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) must be submitted yearly. We're here to help with next steps and important deadlines.
Federal Verification
Some students that file the FAFSA may be selected for the Federal Verification review process, which confirms the accuracy of the information provided on the FAFSA. Completing this process is important to finalizing federal aid funds and should be completed in a timely manner.
