Financial Aid Information:
* never rule out a college because of cost alone
* compare costs before applying - net price calculators can provide an estimate of financial aid eligibility and remaining college costs and should be available on every college's website.
* remember to apply -FAFSA- Free application for Federal Student Aid
The application opens annually on October 1st and must be submitted by April 1st of the student's senior year. Please note, the website for FAFSA is fafsa.ed.gov, NOT fafsa.com. Click here for video support.
