We are pleased to share that the 2026-2027 academic year financial aid application process is now available.  The Financial Aid Guide is carefully prepared each year to provide the latest information to help in completing your aid application.  Please refer to the Forms and Documents page on our website for a complete list of required documents, instructions and deadline dates.

All materials must be received in our office by March 1, 2026.

Complete the FAFSA (FAFSA 2026-2027) electronically.

• The FAFSA requires you to provide income and tax data for the 2024 year (prior, prior year).
• Use the specific school code E00059.
• It is recommended that you complete the FAFSA at least two weeks prior to our office’s deadline of March 1, 2026.

Complete the CSS Profile (if you haven’t completed this in a prior year.)

• Provide parent income and asset information on the CSS Profile, in addition to     your own.
• Use the specific school code 3307.
• If you fail to complete the CSS Profile (including parent information), the office will assume that you only wish to be considered for federal loan funding.

For the following documents please upload via our secured Self-Service Banner (SSB) system.  Details are provided on Navigating Self Service Banner. Note that our office will not accept paper or email copies of your required documents; however, we will make ourselves available throughout the application cycle to help you in the uploading process.
