SCHOLARSHIPS THAT HELP

Merit-Based Scholarships

Need-Based Financial Aid Programs

Many need-based federal grants and loans are available through the comprehensive Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at fafsa.gov. To apply for fi nancial aid, submit your FAFSA by the March 1 priority deadline (use our Federal code: 001397).

If you wish to receive a fi nancial aid package earlier in the process, you should fi ll out the FAFSA much earlier than the priority deadline.
