Financial Aid & Scholarship Information

FAFSA

Your journey towards help paying for college and vocational school starts with the Free Application for

Federal Student Aid (FAFSA.) Even if you don’t think your family will qualify for federal aid, most schools and scholarships want you to have a FAFSA on file to apply for their aid. The FAFSA opens every year on October 1st, but you can start the process before then to set up your FAFSA ID- the student and at least one parent/guardian will need an FAFSA ID. Filling out the FAFSA sooner rather than later can open up more financial aid opportunities!
