Determination of Financial Aid Amounts

The amount and types of financial aid awarded to students are determined based on Federal, State, and Institutional guidelines. Most Federal and State financial aid programs are need-based, ensuring that those who require financial assistance the most are given priority.

Financial aid awards are determined using federal, state, and institutional regulations and policies. Each student's financial aid package is developed based on their individual eligibility and financial need. Because many federal and state financial aid programs are need-based, demonstrated financial need is an important factor in determining eligibility and awarding available funds.

Annual FAFSA Filing

To be considered for most financial aid programs, students must file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each year. This application is crucial for accessing Federal and State financial aid. 

Students are encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) each academic year to be considered for the widest range of federal, state, and institutional financial aid programs. Filing the FAFSA annually helps ensure that students receive full consideration for all financial aid opportunities for which they may be eligible.

FAFSA School code: 002061
