How to Apply for Financial Aid

**IMPORTANT**
You must reapply for financial aid each academic year. We advise that you complete your annual tax return (1040, 1040A,1040EZ, etc.) first and use this information to complete your annual FAFSA.


Students seeking federal financial aid, as well as a number of state financial aid programs, must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This can be done electronically online, or with the paper form by mail. Students may also need to complete the GSFAPPS for programs such as HOPE.
