Applying for financial aid begins with completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA). This core document is required when applying for both institutional need-based aid and federal
loans. If you only plan to apply for federal loans, you only need to complete the FAFSA with your
income and asset data. If you’re married, you’ll also need to provide your spouse’s income and asset
data. Please see the FAFSA Guidance page on our site for more FAFSA details.
If you want to be considered for need-based institutional scholarship and loans, you must also complete the
CSS Profile in addition to the FAFSA. Note that if you are a continuing student who submitted the 2024-2025 CSS Profile during the last aid application cycle, you are are exempt from this 2025-26 requirement. Our office will use that previously submitted data along with other remaining requirements. Please refer to Forms and Documents for a complete list of
requirements. All documents must be received in our office by March 1. Please ensure that any forms uploaded are not encrypted.
