As a result of the FAFSA Simplification Act of 2021, the 2024-25 FAFSA has been changed significantly to improve and expand access to student aid. Due to the number of changes, the FAFSA application was not available until December 2023. The Department of Education will begin to release FAFSA information to schools on a limited basis in mid-March 2024. The Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships hopes to receive all of these FAFSAs by early April and begin any needed review and outreach.
In mid-March, the Department of Education began sending small batches of 2024-25 FAFSA data to schools. To accommodate the additional time needed to process the backlog of financial aid applications we'll receive, we expect to be able to begin notifying ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ that ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½has received their FAFSA in mid-April.
If you haven't already, now is the time to submit your ! The sooner you apply for aid, the sooner you'll receive your financial aid offer.
*We plan to begin sending aid offers within the timelines listed below to ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½ who are admitted to ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½and have completed the aid application process. However, these dates are subject to change as we receive new information from our software providers and the Department of Education.*

Student Type | Admission Enrollment Fee Deadline | FAFSA Priority Deadline | ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½Begins to Send Finanical Aid Offers |
