Steps to FINANCIAL AID

How is Works (after submitting your FAFSA) 1 The information you provide on your application is used to calculate your Student Aid Index (SAI). You SAI helps the school determine how much financial support you may need. Funds are awarded on a first come, first serviced basis, so it is important to respond to any emails or requests from the Financial Aid Office in a timely manner.

Review Eligibility Criteria and Award Letter Once your financial aid eligibility is determined, you will receive an award letter detailing the types of financial support available to you. Check your financial aid status and student email for communications from the Financial Aid Office about forms you might still need to submit. Your financial aid will not be awarded until all required documents are processed.
