Important Announcements

Summer 2012 request for financial aid is now available on the 2012 Forms page.


It's time to start thinking about financial aid for the next academic year.

Here's what we recommend:

File your taxes early, then use the Internal Revenue Service data retrieval tool to help you fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

Why use the IRS tool?

It pulls tax information directly from your records and transfers it to your FAFSA application.

Can't file your taxes before March 1?

You can enter estimates of your income and taxes on the FAFSA before the priority date and then update your FAFSA application later.

Keep these dates in mind.
Jan. 1: FAFSA is available at fafsa.gov
Feb. 1: IRS data retrieval tool is available through the FAFSA website
March 1: Your FAFSA priority date

If you have questions or need assistance completing the FAFSA, please contact us.
