Apply as soon as you and your parents have completed your federal tax returns. The priority deadline for upper-class students is April 1. There is no priority deadline for incoming students but the sooner you apply, the sooner you will receive your Notice of Financial Aid and be able to make plans accordingly. If are a returning student and your parents are unable to complete their federal tax return prior to April 1, you can apply using their estimated tax information. Keep in mind, however, that you will need to submit a copy of their completed tax return before your financial aid is awarded.
Financial aid is awarded on a rolling basis to incoming students.
If you have, your financial aid will be awarded. Financial aid is awarded to upper-class students generally after incoming students have been awarded. There is a priority deadline of April 1. Files for upper-class students must be complete before they are set up for awarding. You may apply for financial aid anytime after January 1.
