Attention: HS Seniors, College Students and Parents
The 2021-22 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) will be available October 1, 2020. Completing this form in a timely and thorough manner is one of the most important steps you will take in your college preparation journey.
FAFSA is used to determine your family's Expected Family Contribution (EFC), the amount your family is expected to contribute to your education for one academic year, and should be completed every year you are attending college. The college will use this information along with the college's Cost of Attendance to determine your "financial need" and award package.
For priority consideration, please make every effort to submit your application by Jan. 15, 2020.
