In addition to the FAFSA, students may be asked to submit, directly to the Office of Financial Aid, a signed copy of their 2008 year federal income tax return. This may be due to being selected for verification.
Priority processing and aid consideration is given to those students who apply for financial aid by our April 15th priority deadline.
In order to be eligible for federal student assistance, the student must be either a citizen or eligible non-citizen of the United States with a valid Social Security Number. In general, students must be classified as degree seeking to participate in the federal aid programs and be enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Additionally, students may not owe a refund on a federal student grant, nor be in default on a federal student loan.
For those students who apply for financial assistance, the Office of Financial Aid will provide a Financial Aid Award Letter outlining the student's eligibility for financial assistance. Students are asked to notify the Office of Financial Aid of the receipt of any financial assistance beyond that outlined on the Award Letter.
