Therefore students seeking need-based financial aid must reapply each year by submitting a new College Financial Aid Application. The College will also not allow any student to register for classes if it is aware that a student has accepted or received such federal financial aid for that semester. Securing financial aid from any source outside the College is a student's responsibility. Be sure to check with the specific aid source to determine which forms are required for consideration by that source. To expedite the financial aid process, you should apply as soon after January 1 as possible.
Financial aid is awarded annually based on the aid application deadline and available funds.
Applications are not accepted after July 15. All appropriate forms must be filed according to the directions and deadlines provided. Incoming freshmen will receive an estimated award letter approximately three weeks after they have submitted the College Financial Aid Application. Final financial aid decisions cannot be made until the student has been accepted for admission and has paid the acceptance fee. Final notification of most College scholarships is given by the Financial Aid Office in June.
