Welcome to Financial Aid

Important information for the Fall 2023 semester:

  • The easiest way to check on your Financial Aid status is to check your Financial Aid Portal though your connectColumbia account.
  • The 2024-2025 FAFSA/CADAA application launch date has been pushed back this year. The 24-25 applications will be available for students to complete beginning January 2024, this is due to major changes happening through the FAFSA simplification act.
