APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID
The application process used by the University to perform the need analysis is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA can be completed online by logging on to www.fafsa.gov. When completing the FAFSA, please use the University’s school code #04128400. A student’s income tax form (if filed) and/or parent's tax form(s) for the appropriate year are needed to complete the FAFSA. Students are encouraged to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool when completing the FASFA. This tool allows students and parents to access the IRS tax return information needed to complete the FASFA and transfer the data directly to their FASFA. If students need a copy of their tax return, they can call 1-800-829-1040 and request IRS tax transcript or go to the IRS website at www.irs.gov.

The student will also need to meet with a Financial Aid representative to fill out the Financial Aid forms and provide documentation for information entered on theirFAFSA.
