The Financial Aid Process Applications for financial aid are processed on a rolling basis. That means there is no deadline, but the sooner you complete your application package, the sooner we can award your financial aid and the better your chances are of having all the aid you're eligible for. The financial aid process can't begin until the admissions office has your application. This is required for any financial aid to be awarded. The federal government verifies about one third of all applications, so please be accurate.
Incorrect applications can slow down the process.
Then we calculate the amount of financial aid you will receive based on factors like expected financial contribution, family income, and dates of prior college attendance. If a student loan is part of your financial aid package a Stafford Loan Application will be included with the award letter. Sign your award notification accepting, modifying, or refusing the aid offered. If a student loan is part of your financial aid package, fill out lines 1 through 16 of the Stafford Loan Application. The loan funds will be transmitted electronically directly to your student account.
