How Do I Pay For College?
There are many options when it comes to paying for college.
Both Financial Aid and Scholarships can help!
Financial Aid
What is FAFSA?
- The FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid, is a form available annually to all prospective and current college students to determine their eligibility for aid.
How do I fill it out?
- You can fill out the form on the FAFSA website: https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa
What information will I need?
- For all students planning to attend college during the 2024-2025 school year, 2022 tax/income information is required.
What's the deadline?
- The FAFSA typically opens on Oct. 1 each year. For the 2024-25 academic year, however, it will open on December 31, 2023.
- Most financial aid is on a first-come, first-served basis, so students are encouraged to prepare and file as close to opening day as possible.
