Helpful Hints

• File a FAFSA even if you think you will not qualify. You may be surprised.
• Apply early – financial aid does not happen overnight.
• You do not have to be a full-time student to be eligible for financial aid.
• Avoid delays – write your full name, your L# and sign each document you submit.
• Don’t expect financial aid to cover all of your expenses.
• Beware of scams. Do not pay someone to apply for financial aid and/or scholarships.

Apply Early

• You will be given first consideration for CAMPUS-BASED FUNDS if you apply by February 15 each year.
• Campus-based funding is limited and is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
• The date you apply and the date all outstanding requirements are submitted can affect the amount of your financial aid awards.
