Financial Aid Deadlines
Some grant and scholarship funds are limited, so we encourage students to file as soon as posssible to maximize their award. Students should fill out their FAFSA by May 1st each year for the upcoming Fall term. If you don't apply by May 1st, your application will still be processed and you will be considered for whatever funding we still have available.
