Welcome to Financial Aid

Important information for the Fall 2023 semester:

  • 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. This will NOT affect the timeline of students receiving funds. Reach out in Spring 2024 if you need help with the applications!
