Applying for Scholarships and Financial Aid

To maximize your scholarship and financial aid opportunities, do two things:

• Apply for admission as soon as possible, as most scholarships are dependent on academic details included in your application.
• Complete the FAFSA as soon as possible after October 1. The FAFSA determines your eligibility for different kinds of need-based financial aid.
