Financial Aid and Scholarships


Financial Aid Applications

FAFSA is the main financial aid application and is required to apply for federal and state grants and loans. Current high school seniors can submit their FAFSA beginning in December of their senior year. Be sure to use the application form named for the academic year in which you will be enrolled in college. The FAFSA website (FAFSA.GOV) will NOT charge you to file the FAFSA and will not ask for credit card information. The CSS PROFILE is required by specific colleges who seek more information about a student’s finances than the FAFSA collects. There is a fee to process and submit the PROFILE application. Learn which colleges and scholarships require the PROFILE.
