Financial Aid Information
Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
The first step in applying for financial aid is to complete the U.S. Department of Education Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This form is used by virtually all two and four-year colleges, universities and career schools for the awarding of federal student aid and most state and college aid. The FAFSA collects demographic and financial information from you and your parents to determine an Expected Family Contribution (EFC). This figure determines your eligibility for:
* federal Pell Grants
* other federal financial aid programs
* many state programs
The EFC is determined according to formulas set yearly by U.S. Congress.
